We have seen strong demand for the iPhone 3G since it went on sale. We are currently out of the initial stock supplied to us by Apple. We are working closely with Apple to ensure a regular flow of new stock into Ireland in the coming weeks.
The iPhone 3G device price is subsidised and priced according to which of the existing three iPhone tariffs a customer chooses to sign up to. Prices start from just €49.
Existing iPhone customers can upgrade to the new device, taking advantage of the same great deal as new customers until 1st October. The new pricing is also available for non-iPhone O2 customers eligible for an upgrade. To upgrade to the new iPhone 3G visit any O2 Store or Carephone
iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast* as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the recently released iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK).
