Three has launched a 3G SIM and data starter kit for those who want to get their iPhone from other carriers but use it on the 3 Network.
Hutchison is unable to say whether customers would be able to use unlocked iPhone handsets on its "3" network.
Third-party applications for the iPhone won't be released until early next year, but crackers this week have launched a new jailbreaking application that makes getting past Apple's security as easy as visiting their Web page.
In announcing the UK launch of the iPhone, Apple CEO Steve Jobs dropped hints that a 3G iPhone is on the way. Will it debut in Australia?
AT&T won the right to offer the hype-worn iPhone in the US and it looks like Spanish-owned operator O2 will get the same chance in the UK -- now the bets are on for which of the operators will bring the Apple handset to Aussie customers.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).
It has been a busy year in telecoms, whether because of the increasingly bitter relationship between Telstra and the government; the awarding of the contentious but (finally) progressive broadband contract to OPEL; the pivotal election that led to a change of government; or the move of 3G mobile technology into the mainstream at last.
Software-based phones are coming to the fore as big changes come to the way people make calls.
Apple's famed media player continues to reign supreme on many platforms, primarily because of the popularity of the iPod. But iTunes has a wide-range of features to satisfy any audiophile.
RIM has incrementally upgraded the BlackBerry Curve with the addition of a GPS receiver, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.
So close yet so far: the feature-packed W960i smartphone stands out on paper but is held back by a clunky processor and a laggy interface.
