Many more countries to come. On February 26, Apple will announce a long list of them. iPhone is expanding like an erection.

I guess this means that iPhones will soon be hosin' the leader.

Another 10,000 in sales...

Can you just buy an Auzzie iPhone and use it on the T-mobile network in the US?

@bon,

Auzzie stands for Australia, not Austria.

No. Neither can you buy a German T-Mobile phone and use it on T-Mobile in the US (except while roaming, of course, but that you can do with any iPhone in any country, as long as you pay the exorbitant roaming charges).

If you're so desperate to use T-Mobile in the US, you'll have to bite the bullet and unlock.

Bon:

I'm pretty sure the iPhone has not been officially released in Australia... yet. So, chances are if you bought an iPhone Down Under, then it would be unlocked and then yes, you would be able to use it on T-Mobile network in the US.

Didn't Aussie stand for Australia?

Is there a reason why people continue to bring up Australia? This is almost beginning to sound like a scene from "Dumb & Dumber"...

Dumb and Dumber reference...

"Throw another shrimp on the barby!"

I should have put Auzzie in <sarcasm> brackets.

they don't teach geography in the US any more do they...

Austria - a landlocked, central European country, bordering The Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland.

Australia - an island continent south of Indonesia on the other side of the Pacific Ocean...

Americans are becoming like their tv - too much airtime, not enough content...

oh great.... _another_ country getting the iPhone, with still no sign of it appearing in Canada (aside from the oodles of unlocked blackmarket ones I see everywhere around town)

and Austria has what, a quarter of Canada's population?

sigh... (darn you Rogers Wireless! your ~7M wireless subscribers are waiting!)

Took a visit to Austria last year. They have cool signs around with a slash through a picture of a kangaroo, and the words, "No Kangaroos". I guess lots of ugly Americans make that mistake over there.

(Never did find the outback)

Correction: Just did a search on No kangaroos in Austria and the signs actually say, "No kangaroos in Austria".

At this rate, Bosnia will get the iPhone before Canada! Lol!

"At this rate, Bosnia will get the iPhone before Canada!"

And East Timor, Little America and the International Space Station.

Rogers that?

Customers of Rogers should boycott Rogers' other services, such as internet, or per-per-view movie channels, etc., and not upgrade their cellphone plans until Rogers smartens up. We must affect their bottom line to make them listen.

Rogers shareholders should begin raising the question of why even tiny Austria is getting this phone before Canada at every opportunity.
