    Way too many variables to give you an answer worth anything. At very best, every phone on the O2 network has to be tested for compatability, which can take months if something goes wrong, and then there is that fact that if demand is high we tend to get left til last...

    Japan first, they don't have an edge network, only 3G and HDSPA or whatever the acronym is. The rest of the developed world after that then america (not to much 3g penetration there).

    [edit]then again I'm sure there'll be a token release in america, with the rest of the stock quickly destined for japan[/edit]

    my opinion and mine only.

    99 euro on the most expensive plan. Tiered pricing like we normally get here.

    iPhone Price Cut to €99 in Germany
    Germans can now get an iPhone for just €99 (US$155), a big departure for the Apple phone which hasn't been subsidized by operators before. It will also fan the flames of rumors about an imminent new 3G model.

    "This price cut will raise a few eyebrows, and is very interesting indeed," said Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight.

    It's interesting both because the iPhone hasn't been subsidized before, and because it could mean the launch of a new 3G capable model is getting close, according to Wood.

    "That could mean T-Mobile is clearing the channel for a new model" said Wood.

    The 16G-byte model still costs €499. The promotional price for the 8G-byte model is valid from April 7 to June 30 for customers signing up for T-Mobile's most expensive calling plan, the Complete XL, which costs €89 per month. The price of the iPhone rises to €249 when bought with the Complete S contract, which includes fewer minutes and text messages, and costs €29 per month.

    Walt Mossberg said that we would see a 3G iPhone in the next 60 days recently.

    I would imagine roll out will be a lot quicker to the Irish network than people think.

    I would presume that whatever countries currently have the iPhone for sale will get the new 3g iPhone when it is released. It would be great if Vodafone got the 3G iPhone, they'd show O2 how its done!

    Not going to happen. O2 have the exclusive contract for the iPhone. Do you really think Apple would go to another provider for a new model?

    Although it'd be funny if they did, all the moaners would have to say with"It'd be great if meteor got the iPhone"...
