Yes please! It's an island! We need someone to bring over some food, water we have, and the 3G unlocked iPhone!

Everyone who's anyone in the Australian cell phone carrier world is announcing iPhone deals. After Vodafone last week, we have today Optus saying that the iPhone has been secured and it's going to be available in Australia sometime later this year.

Optus is a subsidiary of Singaporean SingTel which is apparently behind all this. They are going to deliver the iPhone to Singapore, India and the Philippines and of course, Australia.
I imagine we are talking about the 3G versions right? Let's see who delivers first... Is it going to be Vodafone or Optus? What about Apple stores?

We are a month or less away from the long waited for official announcement and full release of the next iPhone, the 3G version. According to a recent rumor, Australians will be able to buy unlocked iPhones from local Apple stores. Vodafone will offer plans designed for purchasing an iPhone but they won't be the only ones selling it. They won't even be the exclusive carrier for Kangaroo Land as local Telstra and Optus will be offering iPhone deals too.

What we don't know is whether the 3G iPhone will be unlocked too or just its predecessor? How much do I have to pay to buy one? (Plane ticket and travel plans to Australia not included of course)
