Telstra, Optus and Apple itself this morning released their respective local pricing details for the iPhone 4, with the big T also confirming it would open its stores around Australia at midnight on Thursday night to give full access to customers keen to pick up the hyped Apple handset as soon as humanly possible.

Optus yesterday told customers it would open a handful of stores around the nation for midnight launches, but Telstra will open 25 — including, for example, stores in Tasmania and South Australia, where Optus will not open stores at midnight for the launch.

In terms of the actual pricing plans, both Optus and Telstra will launch the iPhone 4 on plans ranging from a $49 monthly capped plan upwards.

Telstra
Telstra’s entry level $49 plan will see the customer provided with what Telstra described as $400 of included value – voice, SMS and MMS access to any Australian network – and 200MB of data allowance. If customers buy a 16GB iPhone 4, they will pay $149 upfront on the $49 plan, whereas if they buy a 32GB iPhone 4 they will pay $299 upfront.

Apple overnight said it would release a new 8GB iPhone 3GS model in Australia alongside the iPhone 4 – for which Telstra customers will pay nothing upfront on the $49 cap.
