iPhone’s SA future uncertain

[JK8]

If the time the networks take to get new HTC devices (e.g. TyTN II) released is any indication, I think everyone is in for a loooong wait. And this is from a distributor that they are already dealing with (i.e. have an account with). With Apple, its starting from scratch.

Lol Voda has the Tytn2, HTC is also one of the better suppliers compared to Nokio and SE.

Personally I wouldn't get the iPhone until it has at least 3G, preferably HSDPA. What good would all the online features do when you're stuck on EDGE at best or even GPRS?

That advert is not just for the 3G iPhone; it mentions HSDPA. WTF?!

I think its wishful thinking that the French or Germans will be getting anything other than EDGE.

This press release for Germany seems to confirm EDGE - http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/09/19iphone.html

Looks a bit like the "Cellucity exclusive iphone deal" ad.

Who wants an iPhone when you can have a Sharp 920SH
