Will there be cheper OZ plans for non 3G areas
Are there situations in any of these countries where people wont be able to use the 3G network?
I live outside of the 3G coverage area from Vodafone and Optus, which means I wont get the speed which makes the iPhone so useful.
Any thoughts?

Stiff shit essentially - the iPhone will work, albeit at GPRS speed  |

I've been told by my sister that Vodafone Australia's pricing will be out on July 2.

I think whoever releases their plans first, the other carrier will very soon follow.
I am kind of hoping that Vodafone will have the better plan though.

Is Prepaid confirmed via the Australian carriers?.... I can't find any information on this  |

I've said for the longest time (at least a week) that the carriers were going to wait until the next financial year, ie July. This is because:
o There's a bunch of end of financial year deals they want to move. Naturally they won't want iPhone people to feel like their prices are lousy in comparison.
o Phone carriers have to sell so many units per quarter. If people knew an awesome phone was coming out next month at the same price, people would wait.

July 2 is the rumour for Vodafone, which makes sense, right after the financial year, more than a week until release. I wouldn't expect Optus to be much different.
PS: Adding Telstra to first post.
