Mixed reception all at time for Apple iPhone 3G price plans,AT&T, Rogers and Telia divide consumer opinion over pricing for Apple's device.
AT&T has unveiled new price plans for iPhone 3G customers - and its $10 extra a month for that high-speed connection and $5 a month more for an SMS allowance.
The US operator is to offer contracts starting at $69.99 and rising to $129 for unlimited anytime minutes. It's $5 a month for 200 messages and $20 for unlimited messages.
Existing iPhone 3G customers upgrading to the 3G model on a two-year contract will pay $199 for the 8GB version and $299 for the 16GB version - roughly in line with other operators.
Newcomers will have to pay $399 and $499, respectively.
Meanwhile, iPhone fans in Canada and Sweden have been up in arms at what they see as extortionate tariffs set by Rogers Wireless and Telia Sonera.
The latter has hastily added an 'unlimited' data plan to its iPhone 3G offer, having originally started pricing at $50 for a measly 100 mins, 100 SMS and 100MB of data.
Mixed reception for iPhone 3G!

Telia Sonera revisits Apple iPhone 3G plans in Sweden.
Telia Sonera said iPhone 3G services plans will start at $50 USD (299 SEK) for the "iMini" plan that will include 100 minutes, 100 SMS messages, and 100 MB of data. Customers who choose the iMini plan and agree to an 18-month contract with the carrier can purchase the 8GB version of the handset for $415 USD (2495 SEK) or the 16GB for $550 (3295 SEK). However, opting for a 24-month contract will reduce the cost of the 8GB model to $280 (1695 SEK) and the 16GB model to $415 (2495 SEK).
Telia Sonera had put forth three separate plans, dubbed the iMini, iMidi, and iMaxi. The iMini ran for the 299 kr/month (~$50) with 100 minutes, 100 SMS messages, and 100 MB of data; the iMidi for 489 kr/month (~$83) with 250 minutes, 250 SMS messages, and 250 MB of data; and the iMaxi for 859 kr/month (~$145) with 1000 minutes, 1000 SMS messages, and 1000MB of data. On top of which, if you wanted an unlimited data plan, you had to shell out an additional 199 kr/month (~$34).
The Swedish people were not too taken with that idea, and so they complained. A lot. As a result, Telia Sonera has now made their existing cell plans available to those who plan to purchase an iPhone 3G, meaning that you can choose from a variety of offerings that start as low as 99 kr/month (~$17), to which you can add that same 199 kr/month unlimited data plan.

In Germany ,Gravis Stores to sell iPhone 3G for Apple
Gravis Stores to sell iPhone 3G in Germany.Because in Germany are no Apple Stores, but Apple iPhone 3G is a chain called Gravis that has sold Apple gear for years. Now the Gravis shops will also carry the iPhone 3G and will sell them with T-Mobile contracts according to Heise (German).
In 2008 Apple is supposedly opening an Apple store in Munich of Germany. The building is still a construction site in early stages. Apple is already hiring personal for the Munich Apple store though.
For iPhone 3G will not only be available in T-Mobile shops but also at Gravis - maybe a good thing to know if there are lines at the T-Mobile shop on iPhone 3G launch day (11th of July).
On the other hand the T-Mobile online shop is taking pre-orders for the iPhone 3G already.

Australia-Telstra to sell 3G iPhone
Australia-Telstra to sell 3G iPhone
Telstra's Australia Service Provider 3G iPhone just now with Apple iPhone 3G,IN a case of better late than never, Telstra, the gorilla of the telco market, will come to Apple's iPhone launch party but may lag its rivals by almost two weeks with the handset.
Telstra will join Optus and Vodafone in launching the new 3G version of Apple's new iPhone 3G in July and Telstra chief Sol Trujillo may make an announcement next week.
Vodafone and Optus will begin selling the iPhone on July 11 and the much hyped widget will likely drive plenty of feet through Apple's new CBD Sydney retail store which dwarfs Telstra's new concept store directly across the road. Apple's shop opened this evening, with Apple tragics coming from as far afield as San Francisco to witness the event.
Telstra stayed quiet as its rivals wracked up marketing points by standing in the glow of the local iPhone launch, but will now go ahead and sell the device according to people close to the company. The telco is targeting a date of July 22, they said.
Telstra retail chief David Moffatt and a team of his senior executives were given a preview of the new Apple store last week, sources said.
While the old iPhone, which was never sold here, was designed for the low bandwidth US telephony market and only works on GSM networks, the new version can operate on the much higher bandwidth 3G networks that Telstra, Hutchison, Vodafone and Optus are building out in Australia.
It also operates on the rare 850 Mhz frequency which Telstra's NextG network uses.
Local carriers have already been swamped with online generated interest in the device. Vodafone's pre-registration website for the iPhone has attracted about 40,000 visitors daily since opening the site early last week, while Optus has stopped accepting advance deposits for the gadget iPhones, as it can't keep up with demand.
"Due to an overwhelming response, we have removed the deposit-taking mechanism from the www.optusiphone.com.au website," said an Optus spokesperson earlier this week.
Telstra has persistently refused to comment on the iPhone. "Watch this space ... nothing's changed," Telstra spokesman Peter Taylor said today.
So far there is no word on whether Australia's fourth mobile network Hutchison's "3" will sell the iPhone.

Australia-Optus iPhone 3G not exclusively
Australia-Optus plans to make the announcement mid-May ahead of Apple CEO Steve Jobs is tipped to launch the iPhone 3G.
While this source could not confirm a iPhone 3G version of the popular handset, they did suggest that Optus was expecting the upgraded models.
There remains further speculation as to which of the remaining Australian carriers will also licence the sale of the iPhone. With the first generation of the iPhone operating on the EDGE mobile network, the obvious choice had been Telstra as it's the only carrier with the necessary back-end technology.
The possibility of a 3G iPhone opens the door for the remaining carriers, who all provide a 3G service, and may in fact exclude Telstra depending on the latest iPhone model's hardware specifications. For the iPhone to operate on Telstra's Next G network it would need to support the 850MHz frequency, not just the 2100MHz more common in Australia, as well as in Europe and parts of Asia.
