Vodafone gets the iPhone

Today, after months and months of speculation, Apple announced that it had signed an agreement with Vodafone to be the provider of Apple iPhone services in Australia.

We still don’t know when we’re getting it, but at least we know where we can get it.

I’m With The Band managed to get a couple of comments from Vodafone Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, Russel Hewitt, he had this to say: “Vodafone Australia is enormously pleased to be included in the agreement to sell the iPhone to our customers later this year.

“The iPhone will be the perfect addition to Vodafone Australia’s mobile handset range. The iPhone’s Australian launch is well-timed to coincide with our plans to deliver an enhanced mobile internet and entertainment experience to customers.

“The iPhone has already proved to be extremely popular with customers in other parts of the world and Vodafone is confident that today’s announcement will be well received by all Australians who are keen to get their hands on their own iPhone.”

Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long before the new, rumoured to be 3G, iPhone is available in Australia…and fingers crossed it’ll even have push email!

Anyway, if you’re keen to get your hands on an iPhone as soon as they’re available then Vodafone has a handy little form where you can sign up for all their iPhone news.
