From CNET Asia :
Just four more days to go before the iPhone 3G debuts in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and New Zealand. Countries like Macau, Singapore and The Philippines will be getting the handset in the later part of the year.
When Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 3G with its new price (US$199 for the 8GB and US$299 for the 16GB), I thought that was it. I knew I was going to get the handset when it comes to Asia. But the initial rush of enthusiasm started dissipating once the telcos unveiled their data plans for the iPhone 3G last week. Factor in the monthly data subscriptions and the deals don’t look that enticing anymore.
To date, four operators–Optus, Telstra, 3 Hong Kong and SoftBank–have announced their service plans. For the record, Telstra wasn’t in the list of exclusive carriers to sell the iPhone 3G on July 11 when Jobs first announced availability schedules. It’s hard to keep track of everything that’s happening. So if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of the iPhone 3G in Asia, here’s where you should go.
