DUBLIN – July 28, 2010 – Vodafone Ireland today announced that it will launch iPhone 4 in Ireland on July 30.
iPhone 4 features FaceTime, which makes the dream of video calling a reality, and Apple’s stunning new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in super crisp text, images and video. iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time—in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world. iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, which includes over 100 new features. The revolutionary App Store provides access to more than 200,000 apps including the new iMovie app built just for iPhone 4.

Pricey. MyVodafone is now down.

cyberspi · 28-07-2010 11:58AM

is that not raising the price of the 3gs??

Dades · 28-07-2010 12:02PM

Nothing on the site yet...

€35 plan would be perfect for me - but how much from some extra data per month, I wonder?

Cyrus · 28-07-2010 12:07PM

scam artists

the old iphone plans had 2gigs

cyberspi · 28-07-2010 12:08PM

just spoke to vodafone and they said it was the same price plans and packages as the 3gs, with the €35 plan still having the 2gb data package.. so dunno whats the right info yet..

Looks like a load of complete and utter crap when compared to 3's price plans.

mailforkev · 28-07-2010 12:12PM

Wow, they didn't even try. Do they still have a pile of lifer Eircell employees working in planning or what?

Looks like I'm staying with 3 so far.

Stuxnet · 28-07-2010 12:12PM

crazy, :eek:

3's 40euro flexi plan for me i think,

Dades · 28-07-2010 12:13PM

^^ Nice one Seamus - I had read the OP wrong!

Not looking so hot now, Vodafone.

cyberspi · 28-07-2010 12:14PM

this is the PCA+ price plan from the vodafone website, find it hard to believe they would downgrade it and become less competitive?

phill106 · 28-07-2010 12:14PM

More expensive then i thought

thewools · 28-07-2010 12:17PM

I wanted to stay with Vodafone but 3's price plan is tempting me alot more!!

I was looking at this exact page... Joke!!!

dubmick · 28-07-2010 12:21PM

So for the 32gb phone with Three: €60 cheaper for the handset, €5 cheaper per month and also1.5gb more per month in data.

Vodafone fail.

gbee · 28-07-2010 12:22PM

From what I understand here, They want about €300 for the phone plus LESS service than what I've already got.

I don't see a Vodafone iPhone 4 in my future, I do have an upgrade to factor in, but their starting prices and limits are not attractive.

BBMcQ · 28-07-2010 12:22PM

Confirmed with someone in Vodafone Head Office in Leopardstown that all Vodafone stores open 9am Friday morning, limited stocks.

bigjohnny80 · 28-07-2010 12:24PM

Its a rip off. Can't believe how far away from three they are.

seamus · 28-07-2010 12:25PM

Just waiting to see what O2 come up with now, but three are the front runner for me. Looks like I'll be switching.

maninblack · 28-07-2010 12:25PM

no pre-pay options? hmmm, looks like I'll be getting it from Apple so and hoping VF will sell me a pre-pay micro-SIM!

Dades · 28-07-2010 12:26PM

The plans are crap UNLESS everyone you know is also on Vodafone. That's the one light in the darkness that is their prices.

The data allowance is bollocks though.

Heliosvector · 28-07-2010 12:27PM

oh my god! how can they be that uncompeditive with price plans? three offer 300% more data usage, more time and cheaper price on even the lowest tarriff.

elvis jones · 28-07-2010 12:31PM

Just seen that the CPW won't be getting any 32GB on Three..................all 16GB.

NinjaTruncs · 28-07-2010 12:33PM

I can't believe the price they are trying to get for the 8GB 3gs. No one in their right mind would pay that much for one on contract.

Wont be on three, but where did you see this?

Blazer · 28-07-2010 12:38PM

complete ripoff by Vodafone...
3 are a clear winner as regards pricing and price plans...
ho ho it's off to 3 I go ..:)

elvis jones · 28-07-2010 12:38PM

Mate is a manager in one of their stores.

Three must keeping all those stock for their own stores.

kingshankly · 28-07-2010 12:42PM

vodafone hang your head in shame was comparing their 60 euro a month compared to 3s
vodafone 300 minutes- 3 has 500
vodafone 300 text - 3 has also 300
vodafone 1 gb- 3 has 2gb
vodafone 199-3cost 119

thewools · 28-07-2010 12:44PM

Doing the Maths for a 16GB iPhone 4:

Assuming you dont text or call other networks that is! :rolleyes:

Vodafone
Perfect Choice Access Plus = €909 over 18months (inc €279 for phone + 18 X €35)

"3"
Classic Flex - Max = €939 over 18 months (inc €219 for phone + 18 X €40)

However "3" offer 3 times the data allowance and 350 flex-units which can be used for calls / texts / data

So what everyone think???

Simon201 · 28-07-2010 12:46PM

Nah! something wrong there - they wouldn't be going from 2gb data to 500mb!
Price of €379 for that 32gb is sh1te tho!

Cherrycola · 28-07-2010 12:48PM

I think i wont be queing anywhere this Friday, and waiting for the next round of stock to arrive, and watching Boards to see what the best option is.
Ive waited this long for an iPhone, i can wait another few weeks, or months, whatever the case maybe.
ive my name on the list at my local Vodafone store, number 2 on the list, but there is no way im signing up to that price plan for 18mths! :eek:

so far, 3 is the outright winner, but i'll wait to see what their coverage and service is like when all the rest of you sign up on Friday.
