iPhone To Launch 22 August In India, Estonia And The Czech Republic

By Dianne See Morrison - Wed 06 Aug 2008 08:59 AM PST

Three more country launches for the 3G iPhone. India’s Bharti Airtel, Estonia’s EMT, and the Czech Republic’s Telefonica (NYSE: TEF) O2 all announced today that they would begin selling the handsets on August 22. The three operators did not disclose any pricing of the phones or monthly tariffs. In India, Bharti Airtel isn’t the only iPhone carrier. Vodafone—which hasn’t revealed pricing or launch dates—will also be selling the phone. The two operators, however, will only be able to provide a limited service of the phone, as India does not yet have 3G networks up and running.

Millions of Airtel sand Vodafone Essar subscribers would be able to purchase the iPhone at their retail counters from August 22. While Bharti Airtel has 69 million subscribers at present, Vodafone Essar has 49 million.

What I don’t get is that recently in an article on this very website, there was a report that Vodafone would get itself a 15 day launch advantage over Bharti Airtel owing to its global tie up with Apple. Thereafter, there are reports in various media that both companies would launch on Aug 22nd - any clarity here?
