An anouncement is now featured on Orange customer service number when you call regarding the iphone. Before you get put through they mention the iphone then say they cannot answer questions about it just yet.

I dont think they will be allowed to brand it. Apple are pretty strict as far as I can see how they sell their products. Also as nice as it is I dont think the iphone should be on such high tariffs on long contracts. Its not THAT special in terms of what it actually is or has compared to other phones. Dont know why its so expensive in the first place.

Just to clarify the NZ situation, Vodafone are the only official network supplier of the iPhone in NZ but they DO NOT have an exclusive agreement. Talks with major rival Telecom NZ have broken down and 2 Degrees Mobile have yet to release 3G services so no point in an iPhone supply agreement there - yet. Apple NZ also sell the iPhone on their online store.
VodafoneNZ have steadfastly refused umlimited data deals but have plans as low as NZ$40 (about GBP18.00).
iPhones from VodafoneNZ are unlocked and available on PAYG.

I might switch to Vodafone if there is a better deal to be had.
Definitely would never go back to Oranage, no matter how cheap (no reception at all where i work in central london or live)

I'm certain I want to move from O2... the iPhone was my only reason to use them
Vodafone would be my preference but yes, it depends on their package offerings and it must include unlimited data.
Failing that, I have been tempted a couple of times already while with O2 to sell my iPhone and just go and get an unlocked one in future... that... or unlock my existing iPhone and control my urge to update firmware until the next unlock solution comes along

At least now whatever iphone you use it now should be easier to use on any network. Though Apple do make it hard dont they?

Apple only make it hard by locking them
once unlocked, its never been an issue to configure to a different network

Vodafone seem competitive - nothing mind blowing, but reasonable. £149 for a 16GB 3GS on a £35pm, 18mth contract isn't bad (that's with 300 minutes, unlimited texts, and 1GB of data). Add in the strength of the network itself, and for me that's a deal, or might be. I'll probably wait and see what happens in June/July either way.
