It seems low sales in Europe and Asia have gotten Apple to rethink its model somewhat.

Although there was no word on when the carrier will begin selling the phone, they did say "SingTel Mobile will distribute the iPhone in Singapore, while the handset will be sold by Optus in Australia. Bharti Airtel and Globe Telecom will handle sales in India and the Philippines, respectively."
As bubba said i also agree this is about time to come to OZ and i do love how Optus has this. I am just waiting for the right time to make the transistion to Optus myself.

The wdhole low sales fact everyone could have told them that i remember stating this fact awhile back and i am glad that i have been proven correct. Spread the phone across many companies and you will make more money that way.

Now only to wait for when it actually gets launched here....
