Roll the mouse over it and it said iphone. No link just the pic in the middle of the page. Tried to find it again yesterday but it was NOT to be found for love or money. Id say i caught it as someone was testing a page. If thats the case then Apple Oz is preparing to put the iphone links in it's Oz web sites Spoke to a reseller here in newcastle and they are not saying a thing. just quoting the Vodafone release and doing a Shultz (Hogans Heros - " I know nuthin!, I know nuthin!!") Spoke to A vodaphone reseller today. Others had just said that they know nothing except the official release but this guy said that yes vodfone were going to sell Yes it Was going to be 3G Vodaphone and Optus were going to sell No comments as to pricing, bundles, plans etc. he expected something next month Tesltra was NOT getting it. His wording. but ? grain of salt? bit of marketing blurb? if so why say Optus was in but Telstra was out I found that an interesting view and this guy did seem quite sure. but who knows? As for the Telstra comment given that 1. telstra have previously bagged Apple and the iphone 2. Telstra have the EDGE but not a full 3g yet and the Oz phone is (supposedly) full 3g maybe short term this guys comment was on the money One thing for sure EVERYBODY is trying to second guess everything :) I saw the Vodafone release late Wdnseday
