iPhone 3G launching 00:01 NZ time, home delivered in the UK

Vodafone just went public with the information you already knew, New Zealand will see the world's first iPhone launch at 00:01 local time on the 11th. That's almost a full day before any New York, propaganda farmer gets his. In the UK, O2 is now taking pre-orders (one per customer) on a first come, first serve basis. Better yet, your new slab of 3G will be delivered to your home on the 11th of July by courier where you can activate it from the digital comforts of iTunes. So civilized.

And they only have to sign an 18 month contract. Must be nice.

Pricing has been released. $250/m for 24 months to get the handset for $199. Retardo.

They only had 50,000 units. O2 online in UK totally sold out for the next two weeks. Instore upgrades only available to certain people.
