I am impatiently waiting for O2 Ireland to release the 3G iphone before I make a purchase. The price of the phone doesn't deter me at all, but the difference between O2's price plans in Ireland and in the UK is incredible. In Ireland O2 don't offer visual voicemail at all (you pay for normal access to voicemail on the iphone - the only phone that a charge for voicemail applies). They have set a cap of 1GB of data per month (10c per Mb over that) and have the gall to charge a whopping €100 per month ($150) to get 700 minutes of talk time and 250 texts (in the UK you get the a better deal for $50 per month. outrageous. I am currently not with O2 and will probably switch over to them to get the 3G iphone - but with great reluctance at the rates charged. Many of my friends who would LOVE to get the iphone share by sense of being screwed to get it. Irish sales certainly wont help Apple to reach 10 million sales in 2008!
