Pricing for the eagerly awaited Apple iPhone 3GS has finally surfaced from Vodafone New Zealand with the least amount upfront being NZ$399 for the 16GB model, if you sign up for a two-year contract at NZ$130 a month on an iPhone-specific plan.
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.
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.
Apple Australia today confirmed it was directly selling unlocked iPhone 3GS devices in both the 16GB and 32GB models from its own outlets.
Vodafone Australia is fielding a number of complaints from Australian customers who received unexpectedly large bills a month after they bought an Apple iPhone from the mobile carrier.
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.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
So we have answers. The iPhone is coming to Oz, it's 3G, it's cheaper, and it's available via multiple carriers.
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).
commentary: It is not a foregone conclusion that the successor to outgoing Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo will be internally sourced.
Singapore Telecommunications last week shed light on the difficult industry dynamics that lay ahead of VHA, the mobile phone business being formed from the merger of Vodafone Australia and Hutchison Telecommunications.
Cutting costs by deploying Linux is a well-established strategy on the server and even the desktop, but what effect could it have on the cost of mobile computing?
There is no single candidate right now better suited to succeed Sol Trujillo as Telstra chief executive than the telco's current consumer marketing and channels chief David Moffatt.
2008 was a cracker year for telco in Australia, with so many huge events happening that those at the beginning of the year have been drowned by the importance of those at the end.
Apple showed off some of the new features in its upcoming OS X \"Snow Leopard\" release: dock expose, zoomable live previews in Finder and improved workflow.
At WWDC 2009, Apple unveiled the new 15-inch Macbook Pro. The new laptop comes with a better battery, SD Card slot and a new processor.
Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.
Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' -- but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.
Sharp's latest handset offers one megapixel photography, but only Vodafone Live users need apply. Read our Australian review.
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.
We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.
