More infos about the availability of the iPhone 3G in Switzerland

Swisscom posted today some more info about the availability of the iPhone 3G in Switzerland. Looks like I will have to get up early on Friday and find a nearby Swisscom shop to get in line at 6h30. I already have a reservation for an iPhone 3G in another store, but it is not sure that they will get enough in stock on Friday to satisfy all reservations made. I'm somewhere in the queue at number 80 for my model of choice and around 250 overall in queue. And by the way, I'm going for the 16GB white model with the largest price plan option.

Swisscom announced price plans for the iPhone

Swisscom finally announced the prices for the iPhone related mobile contracts. I'm still hesitating between the mezzo and grande option. Although Orange will also offer the iPhone and probably will have better contracts, the network coverage is not as good as with Swisscom concerning UMTS. I hope that Orange will soon announce their prices, so I still can decide before July 11th, where and with which contract to to get the iPhone.
