Contact Search, iPhone Australia, 3G?
Engadget has posted screenshots of the newest iPhone 2.0 Beta which was just released yesterday. One of the big features added to the latest beta is the ability to search contacts.
Meanwhile, MacTalk.com.au claims to have intercepted information sent to Australian resellers about the launch of the iPhone in Australia. According to their sources:
- iPhone Australia launch in last week of June release
- More than 1 carrier
- No contract lock in
- Current resellers will be able to sell iPhones
If true, this would represent a significant departure from Apple's current model in the U.S. which locks customers to AT&T specifically.
Finally, there had been reports of 3G chipset (SGOLD3) references in the latest SDK, but there are some doubts as to its significance.

Is iPhone in Canada yet? The market is about the same size and the economy is at least as strong, if not stronger, so there is no reason not to market it there.

Something is telling me that there will be some kind of "global release" of the iPhone 2.0 coming summer... except for a couple of disadvantaged countries.
Maybe this list will cover it... (eh.. the countries that will get the 3G iPhone 2 ofcourse... :D)

If the deals that have been happening in other parts of the world are offered in Australia, it will be a miracle.
I've lived in the US for a few years now & cost of mobile (cellphone) plans over here is a pittance to what you pay for anything in Australia.
For a start we go by minutes not airtime, and for example in a 50 dollar monthly plan you get about 50 free minutes included then pay about 20 cents for every minute of a call you make after that time. Incoming calls are free however.
If the iPhone and it's plan can change Australian mobile costs that would be great.
All this being said, I would still allow myself to get charged like a wounded bull for the ability to have an iPhone in Oz.
Cheers

Contact search: Why wasn't that included from the beginning? It's kind of sad that we get excited over features that should have been there from day 1. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone, and I'm not bashing Apple, but that's a simple feature we should already have.
And why no Bcc in the iPhone Mail app? How hard would that be to have included that basic feature to Mail?
