iPhone country availability

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

I am currently traveling around Europe and I wanted to find out where can I purchase new iPhone 3G S. So I went to Apple’s web site to see if I can find the information that I was interested in.

I was hoping to find something similar to:

http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/availability.php but for countries other than US.

I did find http://www.apple.com/iphone/countries/ but it did not solve a problem. Why? Well, it lists countries where iPhone is available (any version). That did not help me since I started checking different countries I planned to visit and found their web sites stating something along the lines “iPhone 3G S coming soon…”. What is even worse is that even where I found that iPhone 3G S is available I had to search to figure out if it is locked to a carrier or not. Arghhhhhhh…. Painful… Since iPhone 3G S is not available to all the countries at the launch I think that Apple (or anybody else) should post up-to date list with following: country, models available and locked/not locked to carrier. I think it would be great for people like me/us who are planning to buy iPhone 4G in year 20…something or iPhone 7G in year (…who knows :) ), the sooner the better. What do you think?

Current Country list (please add if you know other countries):
US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, etc…..
