Hey Wawa1979 maybe change your title so that it encourages MacTalkers to sign the petition, with a link to the petition. Something like "Hey MacTalkers please sign 3's iPhone petition". I figure an iPhone on 3 would benefit everyone regardless of whichever carrier their with. Just a thought.

Well the petition will not go live until tomorrow. Personally I don't care if 3 gets it, cause Optus will have it in two weeks and that is good enough for me.

It makes me wonder if maybe it was Apple who determined which carrier could have the iPhone? As 3 said "We've engaged Apple to get the 3G iPhone but at this stage we haven't been able to range it, so I don't know if we're going to be able to range it". Does that mean that Telstra will miss out too?
Ha Ha.... suckers!

This is actually bad news, it means talks must have broken down and Three won't be getting it.

I'm not going to sign it, because the only reason talks would have broken down is is Three wanted to put all their shit on it, and brand the phone.

TBH i would never consider the Iphone on 3, however that said for the consumers in general it would be good if they get it.

3 have basically driven the aussie market in mobile broadband costs. This could be the reason that Apple is not letting them have it - Optus and Vodafone have put pressure on them to say keep 3 out of it as they always release cheap plans and bastardise the market.
