Vodafone NZ now have a news bulletin on their site re the release of the iPhone 3G on 11 July - not much info & no pricing yet - however the NZ Herald qoted the 8GB iPhone 3G to be $365NZ this morning - that's less than a third of the parallel import price of the original iPhone!
"Australia, Italy, New Zealand and Portugal will be the first Vodafone markets to offer customers iPhone 3G for purchase on July 11. iPhone 3G will be available via Vodafone on both prepay and contract price plans which will include great value data bundles."
Bachelor of Design students unwrapping their shiny new Nokia N95s - an upgrade from the N80s they have soo far used for the mobile trial at unitec! YAY!
3G iPhone announced today!
• Available NZ 11 July – Vodafone
• 8GB $200US ($300 NZ), 16GB $300US ~ $500NZ !
• App store coming – some free blogging apps announced (Typepad)
• Will there be a voice/data contract required as part of purchase???
New Features:
* UMTS/HSDPA
* GPS
* iPhone2 software
* MobileMe synchronization (an updated dotMac)
* iPhone/iPod applications & app store coming soon
Still Missing:
* Video recording
* only 2MP camera resolution still, & no flash lighting
* No secondary camera for video conferencing
* No handwriting recognition
* No Java
* No Flash
The iPhone has the best mobile web experience available, but the holes in its feature set still hamper it. It's biggest benefit is the intuitive User Interface - this is the major downfall of Symbian S60 & UIQ mobile OSes.
