Australians eye-balling Apple's new iPhone 3G S will have to wait until 26 June, but will likely be able to use the device's new tethering feature, which allows it to be used as a modem.
Vodafone Australia appears to be planning to launch the visual voicemail feature of Apple's iPhone platform, almost a year after the company and rivals Optus and Telstra started selling the handset locally without the feature.
Optus has outlined the additional cost its iPhone customers face if they want to use their device as a modem.

In case one billion iPhone app sales hadn't convinced you, Optus has opened its Happy Place in Sydney, showcasing iPhones, apps and the people who love them.
One of the more curious aspects of the iPhone phenomenon has been the disconnect between the device's capabilities and carriers' willingness to support them.
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.

Is it finally time to ditch Optus' buggy network and go back to the dark side? Is it time to take my iPhone to Telstra's Next G and hang my head in shame?

While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.
