iPhone coming to Ireland 14th March
4 months later than I wrongly predicted last September the iPhone is coming to O2 in Ireland for €399 / €499 for 8GB / 16GB respectively (the same price as other Euro countries). It’s without visual voicemail and has a 1GB data allowance. Some commentators have described this as being ‘without an unlimited data plan‘ which, whilst technically true, is rather ungenerous as I defy anyone to exceed 1GB of data usage per month over EDGE. Also, other operators define 1GB as being the limit of ‘fair use’ for handset downloads on their ‘unlimited’ data tariffs.
Has not been universally well received due to the fact that the Irish data plan is significantly more expensive than the UK (Northern Ireland) one. There data must taste better in Rep. of Ireland …..
