Don’t know why so many Aussies are surprised by Telstra’s formal announcement today that it will release the iPhone 4 this Friday, when it was actually stated at WWDC 2010 that July 30th would be the date it would be available in Australia anyway. One only had to put two and two together to come to the conclusion that all the major carriers in Australia (such as Telstra) would abide by this scheduling.
I talked a couple of days ago, that despite the recent uproar regarding the fixable antenna issue that I would still get an iPhone 4.
As a long subscribing Telstra customer I’m all set to switch my SIM card from my iPhone 3GS to the new iPhone 4!
I’ll post up a review and video of my first impressions of the phone and especially keen to test it out on Australia’s fastest data network : Telstra NextG.
Here’s the Telstra iPhone 4 Release Date Press Release below:
Telstra today announced that it will launch iPhone 4 in Australia on July 30.
The iPhone 4 features FaceTime – which makes video calls over Wi-Fi to other iPhone 4s possible – and Apple’s stunning new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in super crisp text, images and video. iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time on 3G when compared to iPhone 3G S — in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world. iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, which includes over 100 new features. The revolutionary App Store provides access to more than 200,000 apps including the new iMovie app built just for iPhone 4.
“We are looking forward to bringing the next generation of iPhone to Australians on the country’s largest and fastest national mobile network – the Next G network,” said Executive Director Telstra Consumer, Rebekah O’Flaherty. “Our customers are counting down to the launch and we have some great value Cap Plans to make the most of iPhone 4 when it arrives in Australia. We know our iPhone 4 customers will love the speed and coverage available on the Next G network as they browse the mobile net, update their social networks and send email on the move.”
Customers can purchase iPhone 4 16GB model at no upfront cost on a $79 Cap Plan or above when signing up to a 24 month plan, which offers a great combination of standard national calls, text and picture messaging – up to $750 per month – to customers on any Australian network plus 500MB included data to use in Australia.
