ATT plan to bringing iPhone 3G to Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, October 17th.
AT&T has announced that they will be offering the iPhone for sale in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands as of October 17th.Pricing will be the same as in the U.S. mainland, with the 8GB model available for $199 and 16GB $299 for new and upgrade-eligible customers; customers not eligible for the upgrade can purchase the 8GB for $399 or the 16GB model for $499. As before, each model will require a new two-year contract. “iPhone will arrive for AT&T customers in Puerto Rico on October 17,” said Jose Juan Davila, vice president and general manager of AT&T’s wireless operations in Puerto Rico. “AT&T is committed to offering the most innovative products and services to our customers, and we are pleased to be part of this great milestone in our market.”
The iPhone will require a two-year contract to AT&T; customers coming from other providers will be able to port their number over as long as they have the requisite information. AT&T's iPhone web page collects useful information for customers so that potential customers can be prepared when they come to the store.

China's iPhone 3G May Lack 3G And Wi-Fi
China Mobile wants Apple to remove the Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity options from the iPhone 3G before it's sold in the country, according to a report from the South China Morning Post.
The newspaper hints that the move may be a way for the telecom to keep customers from unlocking the device and running it on rival China Telecom's W-CDMA 3G networks. China Mobile is currently working on rolling out a 3G network based on the TD-SDMA standard.
Removing the Wi-Fi and 3G radios would not be difficult for Apple, but it may dilute the experience and make it less appealing to customers.
"Apple shouldn't customize a model of iPhone for the mainland market, given that it only provides a standardized product to operators around the world," Frederick Wong, a BNP Paribas analyst, told the newspaper.
But releasing a limited iPhone 3G may still be in Apple's best interests, as the company has been eager to get its handset into large markets like Russia and China. For more than a year, Apple has been in talks with China to bring its handset to the country, as the Chinese wireless market is becoming an increasingly important one.
With 600 million subscribers, China Mobile is already the world's largest wireless carrier, and the country is still experiencing explosive mobile adoption rates. The majority of customers use entry-level phones, but these subscribers are quickly upgrading their handsets to sophisticated, multimedia-capable phones like BlackBerrys, and the iPhone.
According to In-Stat, there's an estimated 400,000 unlocked Apple handsets in the country already, as well as countless iPhone clones.
"Our customers like this kind of fashionable product," Wang Jianzhou, China Mobile's CEO, said about the iPhone at a conference last November.

iPhone 3G 2.1 be what 2.0 was supposed to be for?
As per usual, at the most inopportune time when I was already running late, I decided to sync my iPhone as I was getting ready to leave home today. Like clockwork, iTunes asks me if I'd like to update to Firmware 2.1. Would I? Unlike last time, I actually downloaded the update and took off to make my a Saturday class.
During a break, my fellow iPhone-laden class attendees got out their iPhones to check email, text messages and voicemail and the discussion turned to Firmware 2.1.
"Did you get it?" one fellow classmate asked eagerly.
Some of us had, and others, like me, had not. The only visual difference the few of us noted was that the iPod's song listings now listed the artists as well as the song title. But it was funny that we were talking about a firmware update like schoolgirls gossiping as the discussion quickly shifted to cool iPhone applications. Seismographs to levels to games....
On the way home, however, I ran into two of my friends who work at an Apple Store here in the Bay Area. One is a general floor rep and the other a Genius Bar rep. Both were touting the update as getting a new iPhone (essentially making the life of the Genius Bar rep a whole lot easier, me mused).
From what I've gathered from everyone I talked to today about the update (the whole point of non-geeky types talking about a firmware update is not lost on me) is the following: Somehow, Apple has increased 3G performance AND improved battery life in one fell swoop. Perhaps, some theorized, Firmware 2.1 has addressed 3G network access issues that drains battery life. Whether this involves AT&T slackening 3G access standards or if the change is on Apple's end doesn't really matter to me. The details behind the conclusion aren't critical to a lay user like me and my classmates. We saw a Firmware 2.0 iPhone placed next to a 2.1 and noting that 3G reception on the 2.0 was 2 bars while the 2.1 iPhone had 5 bars. Really? More bars everywhere for everyone AT&T?
Can't wait to see if this Firmware update finally makes good on AT&T's slogan of 'fewer calls dropped,' which has, thus far, rung hollow with the iPhone 3G.
Happy with iPhone 3G

Phase 2 Deployment Expands iPhone 3G Across the Globe
On Friday, August 22, 2008 the second phase of iPhone 3G deployment begins to more foreign countries, as announced in Apple’s Q3 2008 financial results call recently. Plans are to deploy the phone in 20 additional countries this month which brings the iPhone 3G to over 40 countries in total. The remaining 30 or so countries will have the iPhone 3G before the end of the 2008 calendar year. It’s been confirmed that the device will make its debut in ten countries in Latin America, more in Europe and India.
The company America Movil and Telfonica will release the iPhone 3G in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. However it appears that America Movil will have the exclusive release in Honduras and Paraguay. America Movil is a leading provider of 3G technologies in Latin America offering 3G services in 15 countries in that region.
Country/operator combinations include: Estonia (EMT), the Czech republic (Vodafone), Hungary (T-Mobile), India, the Philippines (Globe), Poland and Romania (Orange).
In many case, pricing and availability in these regions is not available. Customers are advised to check with their local carrier many of whom are offering registration to receive notification as to when the iPhone 3G will be available, rate plans, etc.

Apple testing fix for iPhone 3G signal issues
A BusinessWeek article purports that Apple is currently testing a fix for widespread loss-of-signal, poor signal and fluctuating signal issues with the iPhone 3G.
Peter Burrows writes:
“Apple and Infineon are currently testing the fix, which will be included in a broader update of the iPhone’s software. iPhone owners will be prompted to install the update when they synch their iPhones to a PC, just as they have on many other occasions. In its statement, AT&T said, ‘We urge our customers to synch iPhone 3G to iTunes frequently to ensure they have the latest software updates.’”
Users, in droves, have reported signal strength/reception issues with the iPhone 3G when utilizing the 3G network in areas with purportedly strong coverage, per AT&T and other carriers’ maps. Most disconcertingly, phones from other manufacturers often deliver excellent 3G signal strength on the same network and in the same location as signal-crippled iPhone 3Gs.
Several users have exchanged their iPhones for replacement units with no improvement.
The iPhone 3G automatically switches between 3G and 2G networks for voice and data connections. In theory, the phone should hop off 3G when signal strength is too low or non-existent, and hop back on when the signal gets better. In our experience, however, the iPhone 3G isn’t aggressive enough regarding the switch from 3G to 2G. In other words, you may find that your phone stays connected to a 3G network when the signal strength is too low to allow incoming or outgoing calls.
The simple solution is to manually turn 3G connectivity, forcing a switch to 2G — which may take several seconds — and likely a boost in signal strength.

Telcel Spells out IPhone 3G Plans for Mexico
Telcel has revealed the Apple iPhone 3G service plans it will be offering in Mexico;I find that at
Telcel Spells out IPhone 3G Plans for Mexico
Dan Moren, Macworld.com
Well, we've heard from our neighbors to the north about their iPhone plans (along with the less than favorable reactions of some of the folks who live there); what of our friends to the south?
Yes, you won't have to wait until spring break to see an iPhone in Mexico. The country is lined up to get their manos (of fate) on the iPhone 3G come Friday, just like the rest of North America.
Telcel, a subsidiary of América Móvil, will be offering the iPhone in México. The company is the largest wireless operator in Mexico, covering 63% of the country and serving around 45 million subscribers. Not too shabby.
We've got the lowdown for you on just how much the iPhone 3G will be running you south of the border. Unfortunately, like their cousins up to the north, Mexicans will have to make do with rather restrictive data caps on their service--there is some allusion to an unlimited data plan, but I couldn't find more information outside of a footnote suggesting its existence.

Mixed reception for iPhone 3G price plans
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.

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.

British carrier O2 plans unlock iPhone 3G after one year.
iPhone 3G will lanch in uk by Apple with O2 July 11,British carrier O2 plans a prompt morning launch for the iPhone 3G, AppleInsider has learned, and hints that it may unlock the iPhone for use on any carrier for Pay As You Go customers.
The shift from evening to morning reflects rumors of an early American launch that is believed by some to be necessary to handle the long wait times for in-store activating plans, which are believed to take roughly 10 minutes or more per customer.
O2 is also said by the new sources to begin stocking up on iPhone 3G units the week before the launch rather than the just-in-time deliveries that were made in some areas with launches of the original Apple cellphone. Demo units may be in use shortly afterwards, according to the reports.
For some customers, though, the most important news may come a year later. Separate O2 staff are suggesting that the wireless carrier's usual policy of offering an unlock code for Pay As You Go phones after 12 months will remain true for iPhone 3G.
While the request for an unlock code costs £15, the gesture would at least theoretically allow iPhone customers in Britain to use their handsets on competing networks such as 3 or Vodafone or to swap SIM cards temporarily for local phone service while on vacation.
It's unknown as to whether or not this policy will hold. For the original iPhone, Apple is known to have taken extra steps in hardware to prevent unlocking , but now is relying primarily on the service signup requirement to guarantee use with official providers.
It would also represent one of the first instances where unlocked iPhones would be sanctioned as a matter of policy rather than law; unlocked iPhone 3G units will be sold in France, for example, but primarily because providers aren't allowed to offer an exclusive device without it also being available as a stand-alone unlocked version.

Canadian iPhone 3G plans lack unlimited data-Rogers-Fido
iPhone 3G plans For Canadian Apple iPhone 3G with AT&T, more interesting and look to good idea in Canada,More plans with Rogers,Fido.Rogers is Canada's largest wireless provider, serving some 7.1 million subscribers. Fido is the fourth largest, serving 1.3 million subscribers, and has been a subsidiary of Rogers since November 2004.Rogers Communications and Apple® today announced that the highly anticipated iPhone™ 3G will be available in Canada on July 11.
“Rogers has a long history of bringing Canadians the very best in wireless services, networks and handset innovations,” said Rob Bruce, president, Rogers Wireless. “With iPhone 3G, we will provide our customers with an amazing mobile experience over Canada’s fastest wireless network.”
“We’re excited to be working with Rogers to bring iPhone 3G to Canada,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s COO. “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary phone in the hands of even more people around the world.”
The carrier announced its service plans for the iPhone 3G, none of which include unlimited data use. Instead, Rogers will cap data each month at a certain amount, which will range from 400MB for the cheapest serve plan ($60 Canadian or $59.23 U.S.) to 2GB for the most expensive plan ($115 Canadian or $113.64 U.S.).
In its press release, Rogers does provide a convenient chart to gauge your data usage--apparently, 2G amounts to 16,000 Web pages (who knew?)--but we don't approve of such an arrangement at all. The iPhone's Web browser is one of its top attractions, particularly on a 3G network, and asking users to limit their data certainly isn't putting the "Internet in your pocket." Rogers is offering unlimited Wi-Fi access at all Rogers and Fido hotspots, but that in itself is limiting if you have to be in one place.
What's more, the data restrictions aren't the half of it. While AT&T's cheapest iPhone 3G service plan ($69 per month) includes 450 anytime minutes, the cheapest Rogers plan (the one with 400MB of data) only gets 150 anytime minutes. Ouch. Similarly Rogers' most expensive plan includes only 800 anytime minutes while AT&T's priciest plan ($129 per month) includes unlimited anytime minutes.

Apple's iPhone 3G coming to Singapore later this year
Are iPhone 3G coming to Singapore July 11?
No Apple iPhone 3G come on Singapore later this year.
"SingTel to bring in Apple's iPhone 3G later this year" on Channel NewsAsia.
Adibah says:
" It’s amazing how progressive Apple is, but my, what a hole they burn in our pockets. What’s the trade-off? It has been mentioned in several places on the internet, however, that this iPhone model will be much more affordable than the original one that was released a year ago."
Local operator SingTel and Apple have jointly announced that they will be introducing the iPhone 3G in Singapore later this year. This will make SingTel the first mobile operator in Singapore to release the new iPhone, according to the press release.
While exact pricing and availability date have yet to be confirmed, Singapore is not expected to be among the first countries in the world to get the iPhone 3G on July 11. Based on the list given on the Apple press site, the new iPhone will debut first in Japan (Softbank), Hong Kong (Hutchison Telecom), New Zealand (Vodafone) and Australia (Vodafone and Optus) on July 11, followed by other Asian markets including Singapore (SingTel), India (Bharti Airtel) and the Philippines (Globe Telecom).
SINGAPORE and SAN FRANCISCO—June 9, 2008—Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) and Apple® today announced that they will be bringing the highly anticipated iPhone™ 3G to Singapore later this year. iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the recently released iPhone SDK.
“We are pleased that Apple has selected SingTel to be the first mobile operator in Singapore to launch its new iPhone 3G,” said Quek Peck Leng, executive vice president of SingTel. “There is strong synergy between the core brand values of Apple and SingTel, such as innovation and reliability.
