Jan Zdarsa Although during the introduction of the Apple iPhone 3G S, the Czech Republic appeared among the countries where the new iPhone model will be sold on July 9, this date most likely does not apply to Vodafone, at least that is what I was told by a representative of Vodafone Czech Republic. The situation from last year, when all three operators started sales on the same day, is unlikely to be repeated. And by the looks of it, T-Mobile might get the time exclusivity.
UPDATE 16: 10: I have always assumed that the date July 3 (July 9) was on the slide at the presentation of the new iPhone 09G S - but everything is completely different (thanks JR for the tip!). July '09 was written on the slide, which means that 09 was not the day, but the year! In that case, take this article with a grain of salt, such a diversion for a Friday afternoon, I apologize to everyone. But the date of July 9 continues to spread, and even servers such as iHned, Lidovky, MobilMania and other apple servers, which also talk about a release date of July 9, did not register it. Apple may also have confused some foreign operators who set the release date for July 9.
And how did it all come about? Apple has started serving slides with release dates. "June 18", "June 26" and then added the dates "June '09" and August '09". However, most people didn't notice at that speed that Apple suddenly started adding apostrophes before numbers and thus completely confused everyone!
Of course, Vodafone plans to include the iPhone 3G S in its range of mobile phones, but at the moment it is only negotiating terms with Apple. No date has been set at the moment, but one thing is probably already certain - Vodafone really won't start selling the new iPhone model on July 9. A representative of O2, who is also counting on the inclusion of the iPhone 3G S, also speaks cautiously, but for now says that this novelty should appear during the summer. I don't expect him to mean early July.
And so we come to T-Mobile, which did not say a definitive date, but the operator's press spokeswoman Martina Kemrová confirmed that the new iPhone 3G S will go on sale in July. So I expect T-Mobile to really kickstart sales July 9 (it's not like that, see update), as sounded at the WWDC 09 keynote.
However, the editors of the Mobil.cz website are talking about the fact that the current iPhone 3G model will not be discounted at T-Mobile and should continue to be sold at the same price. This brings us to the fact that the iPhone 3G S could go on sale as early as July 9, but in this case it could be under very unfavorable conditions for the customer, and I don't even want to think about how much the new iPhone 3G S company T -Mobile will offer. Recently, this company has seen a huge increase in the price of, for example, the new HTC G1 with Android. Personally, I would wait until all operators launch the new model. My information is that other operators would not have to follow T-Mobile's pricing policy.
Oh, if only our operators weren't so greedy…
what are you going to do... but to the point... I thought of something like this... in the Czech Republic there is only one proper forum about the iPhone on the website iphone.cz, so I thought - why not do another one? :) there are a lot of people going to this site and I think it would be great...what about the apple people? :)
I said they would be more expensive and you, Jablíčkáři, didn't believe me... :-(
The author of the article messed it up a bit - just watch the launch video - http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0906paowdnv/event/index.html?internal=ijalrmacu
The dates announced there were "July '09" and "August '09", which is definitely not July 9 and August 9, but July 2009 and August 2009. This is also evident from the fact that a few seconds before it talks about launching in US, namely "June 19" (without the apostrophe indicating the year).
So investigative, yes, but it's better to check the facts. :)
jablickar: yes, I would go for the one from the UK, but if it's similar to the one in Italy (16GB) for 619 Euros - well, I'd have to fall on my head...
But we'll see, what's the point of the price increase since last year, when we started with IP 3G - I think it's now 2 liters more than at the beginning
Any forum without the user "juramac" would be welcome. I've used it twice in my life on a forum where someone asks about nw and the answer is you're illiterate, what do you need it for? Etc
Mirecek: Stop ranting and write it again. It's not clear what you want to say. Posts like this are even worse than what you seem to be criticizing. :)
jablickar: I would like a new forum here... I feel that there are people who are happy to give advice and it's not like here that if you ask a question, you will get an answer: If you're illiterate, don't come, etc. Try doing a poll, for example: would you like a forum on jablíčkáři.cz? Yes/no...I definitely do.. ;)

now I'm sorry that there is no THUMBS UP... :-)))))
I hope I'm on the same page
Jr: I have sold my criticism on the forum to user juramac several times. I have no interest in bringing her here. I go to jablickar(i) precisely for the reason that I can find out what interests me here without personal attacks, and I would expect the same level from the forum. If someone doesn't understand what I mean, go through a couple of topics on the iphone.cz forum, I'm a fan of jabluckarum and keep my fingers crossed for further development.
To all: I apologize for the typos I wrote in the madness
ahh... I'd like a forum... I don't know... really, right? :(
ok... do it, you'll be nice... well, there is only one larger forum in the Czech Republic, but there are a few people on it that I don't really need, well... you probably know who I mean..
Yeeeee…the voice is there ;)
it could just be a little more expressive, but that's a detail :)
