Optus iPhone 4 launch
Optus have announced they are doing VIP events for the iPhone 4 launch this week.
Selected city stores (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth) will be opening at midnight Thursday.
You must be registered with them, which you can do via the Optus website.
Of course, if you can’t be bothered lining up at midnight and getting in first, then you can still purchase via their website or stores thereafter.
Other Telcos
Three and Vodafone also offering the iPhone at the same time:
- Buy iPhone 4 through Vodafone
They’ve got great plans.
Unless you need to bother with Telstra based on your location, I wouldn’t worry about their iPhone 4 plans… I don’t reckon they compare.

“Who’s going to buy the new iPhone”
From who – and for how much?
With the new iPhone 3GS launching in Australia tomorrow, the customer and price wars have begun!
The excitement can almost be felt in the air – or is that smelled?
So what are the big guns offering?
Vodafone
Vodafone are offering the iPhone 3GS free on a $69 plan with credit and and monthly discount options.
Three
Not to be outdone, Three Mobile are also happy to be offering the iPhone to their old and new customers. Check out their plans.
Optus
Optus advertised that they are opening some major stores at midnight tonight, Thursday, with the first 500 through the doors will receive an iPhone accessories “Love Pack”:
Sydney- Optus ‘yes’ Shop George Street
Brisbane – Optus ‘yes’ Shop Queen Street
Melbourne – Optus ‘yes’ Shop Bourke Street
If you’re not in the vicinity – or iPhone crazy enough in this winter weather, then they’ve also got online offers and credit bonuses. As well, there’s mention of waiving the first 12 months handset fees if you are midway through your contract but opt to recontract for 24 months.
I guess they’ve struggled a little with customer loyalty after many data and billing problems… Do customers want to resign with them?
Telstra
What are they offering?
Well, according to Courier Mail blog, Telstra is “giving new iPhone users the finger”, Telstra in their usual arrogance are offering little information at this stage to win – or lose – customers. I guess, it’s a matter of wait and see for the average Joe Bloggs and Telstra.
I presume they think the NextG speed will win over customers??
Telstra are usually dearer in all other products and services – so it would be unusual for them to change their business strategy just for the iPhone?

Yeh, boohoo to you Telstra.
