If Portugal is where you currently live and if you want an iPhone in a few days, then head on over to Vodafone Portugal for their iPhone offers. Vodafone has announced their plans and prices for the 3G iPhone and there are three versions, for every budget. (more…)

Vodafone has just reached a deal with the Government of Ghana. Vodafone will buy 70% of Ghana Telecom which is a top three carrier in Ghana. The price for that huge chunk? $900 million which isn’t that much at all. Vodafone can surly afford that right?

More and more mobile carriers want in on music events and music deals. Verizon has just released the V Cast with Rhapsody which seems to be a pretty clear anti iTunes move. Now it appears that Vodafone wants to work with MySpace to offer a social networking and music kind of application for mobiles.
This right here is an association I wouldn’t have foreseen. But Vodafone has apparently signed an agreement with MySpace to offer the Vodafone Music Reporter, “online global interactive platform” which will let Vodafone customers to share photos videos and commentary on Vodafone Music Unlimited events. The service will be available in Europe for now, in countries like Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
So it’s nothing like the V Cast or iTunes. It’s something totally different. Imagine being at a concert this summer and having your mobile video picked up and broadcast to other mobile users of the Vodafone Music Reporter. And such a service will certainly not come free. We don’t know prices of an eventual release date yet but we will send them your way once they get leaked.

That was the laugh at the day for me. Not because I wouldn’t agree on HTC Touch Diamond being better than the iPhone but because Vodafone UK have posted this on their official HTC web page. Here’s what they say:
Feature rich Windows Mobile 6.1 device utilising HTC’s new Touchflow UI. This device is in a tablet form factor meaning it is touch screen only. The Diamond surpasses the iPhone in all aspects, the key differentiator is the inherent flexibility of the Diamond. It comes loaded with Vodafone Email Plus and the Vodafone Sat Nav program. Launch expected in July
Are the grapes still sour Vodafone? Are you still pissed off that O2 is the only carrier to offer the iPhone in the UK? I mean it would be strange to say the HTC is better than the iPhone like that as long as you are still launching the iPhone in other places. And you would sure love to do so in UK! Am I right or am I right?

While we are getting closer to July 11th, the day Apple will start selling the 3G iPhone in 22 countries, we see more deals popping up. We’ve heard rumors about Russian carriers as well as Chinese carriers looking for a deal with Apple and we’ve heard rumors about Australian carrier Telstra wanting in.
It appears Telstra means business after all. After Optus and Vodafone, Telstra will be the third carrier to deliver 3G iPhone handsets to Australians. Talk about competition… Telstra officials will announce all of this on June 26th while the 3G iPhone from Telstra will go on sale on July 22nd. A race in three that’s something to see. Especially as Telstra is such a big carrier in Australia which got in the 3G iPhone race later than the others. Telstra also seems to have a small advantage over Vodafone and Optus; well it’s actually a bigger advantage. They offer better 3G speeds and more coverage. That means their plans and iPhone price might be higher than others.
Place your bets now! Who shall sell more iPhone in the next year? Is it Optus? Maybe Vodafone? Anyone choosing Telstra? I say Telstra for now!

While Steve Jobs announced that the iPhone will be more affordable worldwide, we haven’t seen any official prices and plans from worldwide carriers for the 3G iPhone. With AT&T offering the 8GB iPhone for $199 with a two year plan, we would expect similar special prices all over the world.
Vodafone, the carrier which will bring the iPhone to Italy, have come up with pay-as-you-go offers for those interested in an iPhone without a plan. The 8GB will retail for 499€, approximately $770, while the 16GB will retail for just 569€, which is a little over $870. How does that sound?
Did you think these were great prices? How about $0 for the 3G iPhone? In the UK and in Spain, carriers O2 and Telefonica have announced special plans for iPhone customers. But the plans are made accordingly. You will pay $88/month for 1 year and a half of services. I know what you are thinking, which one is better, the AT&T plan or the O2?

No, we don’t have the patience to wait till Monday. Nor does this Vodafone hired hand who decided to do some frisking of the 3G iPhone before the D-Day. Here’s what he discovered:
As with all things 3G iPhone, we will take this with a good-sized pinch of salt and wait till Monday, but that doesn’t stop us from bringing you more on the upcoming device, right?
