After losing to O2 to sell iPhone in Britain, the British telco giant, Vodafone, has entered into an agreement with Apple to sell iPhone in 10 countries. Vodafone will sell iPhone in Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey at some time later this year. That’s all we know for now!
I’ll keep you update when we have more information on this deal. The number of unlocked iPhones here in India is shockingly high. Even though iPhone lacks 3G, it should sell here in India (since we won’t be seeing 3G networks atleast for another 3 or 5 years).

I do not see much benefit accruing to Vodafone through this arrangement in the more sophisticated markets like India and New Zealand. The established networks there will run rings around them.

Oh goody. I didn’t buy any unlocked phones cuz I want to get it in the proper way. This is great. And hey, what do you mean “no 3G for 3 to 5 years” ?

Tech Roach: Well, I meant 3G network. Right now, none of our carriers support 3G. It’s kind of pointless to have a 3G supported phone here in India

I am a Vodafone customer and I dislike O2. Why don’t they release it for England as well?
