If you queued for your iPhone last year, or even a week ago, you might be peeved to know that Apple will now ship your shiny, new iPhone 3GS while you wait (im)patiently on your living room sofa.

Apple has updated its Australian online store to include unlocked iPhone 3Gs and 3GS', in all capacities and all available colour options. The outright prices are as we reported on iPhone launch day: AU$719 for 8GB iPhone 3G, and AU$879 and AU$1040 for the 16GB and 32GB iPhone 3GS models respectively.

3 Mobile continues to build momentum on its planned iPhone launch, announcing that the handsets will be available in its stores on 17 July, but are still yet to confirm plans and pricing.
