3 announced some minor changes to its iPhone pricing just ahead of putting the device on sale.

Slightly late to the party, 3 has announced its pricing for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The carrier will begin selling Apple's iPhone this Friday, July 17.

Anticipation over an iPhone 3GS launch is still not over for 3 Mobile customers who have to wait just over two weeks before they can buy one, with exact pricing still to come!

3 mobile broadband customers now receive a free 12 month subscription to AVG Internet Security.

Optus is offering the iPhone 3GS for $0 upfront on a (net) $69 plan. The change appears to be in response to a Vodafone offer.

3 Mobile, now part of Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA), has finally acquired the right to sell the iPhone 3G S in its portfolio of phones, but unless 3 Mobile has a super deal that seriously undercuts Vodafone, why would you buy an iPhone from 3?

Some people I know have been holding out for 3 to offer the iPhone. They won't have to wait much longer.

There’s been much hoopla over the next HTC Google gPhone, both from Vodafone and 3 Mobile, and now Vodafone has finally released its magical pricing structure. Abracadabra?

The Android-based HTC Magic will be available for free (as in $0 upfront) on a $99 cap plan from 3.

Some market watchers say that a pricing announcement today by Vodafone and Hutchison will not influence an ACCC determination about their proposed merger on May 29. However, it is hard not to view the announcement promising to maintain existing pricing for the next two years as a pretty fair attempt.
