iPhone 3G now in pre-approval phase

Apple iPhone Vodacom

Hey, it looks like you're new here to my blog! You may want to consider subscribing to my RSS feed and you'll automatically get notified when I post a new blog entry. If web feeds aren't your thing then why not join my email list by clicking here. Thanks for stopping by.

Just got this email from Vodacom about the imminent launch of the 3G iPhone. I spoke to Apple earlier today and it is confirmed that the iPhone will launch this week in South Africa - just not exactly sure of the date yet.

Based on the email below it looks like you now get a chance to be pre-approved which means they will now credit check you and if you qualify then they’ll offer you a massive package. Anyway, I’ve applied. Let’s see what happens.

    Yup, got the same mail. You’re very optimistic thinking its this week. :) I’ve “heard” it’s more likely to be December/Jan.

    But hey.. I cant wait… I hope you are right.

    Yeah they only went into pre-approval phase yesterday but it’s apparently going to be here on Friday. I doubt it. My guess is that they’ll now try and filter out the rubbish candidates and build up a list of people that can afford the heavily priced package.
