If you followed the Keynote of the iPhone 4 announcement, it’s clearly said that the iPhone will be available starting from June 24th. However, sadly to say it’s only for five lucky countries: USA, France, Germany, UK and Japan. For those countries, pre-orders of the iPhone 4 both in Apple Retail Store and Apple Online Store will start on June 15.

In USA, AT&T still will be the only one to offer the iPhone 4. It offers the iPhone 4 16GB for $199 and $299 for the 32GB. In Germany, T-Mobile also remains the only operator to have a contract with Apple.

Although Orange is the only carrier which is officially confirm to offer the iPhone, SFR and Bouygues Telecom are also rumored will join Orange.

Although on my last post i said that the BlackBerry Storm 2 will be released on October 19th both for Vodafone and Verizon Wireless, this one is still interesting to read. It’s the screenshot of product inventory from Best Buy. From the picture we can see that the dummy units of the Storm 2 will be available at Best Buy locations starting from October 25th. This one is the one that intended for Verizon Wireless.

According to the source, the actual retail units could be coming a little bit after or before that. The unit will retail for $599 at Best Buy locations with no service agreement.

Just got another info as well that someone called the Vodafone UK sales dept and said that the BlackBerry Storm 2 is probably due for release on October 20th.

The release date has been delayed due to the problems with the radio. See the quote below:

Revised release date - October 19th

Issue – Problems with the radio, i.e. high call drop rate. Stipulation has been made that it has to be reduced to the same level as the S1 before its accepted.

Enterprise or consumer release first - they will both be released on the same day.

VF and VZW alignment - yes. The aim is that both VF and VZW will be releasing on the same day.

OS – Unkown. As previously mentioned, it is currently running .253 so it just depends on how many more drops are required to fix the issue.

The guy aso said on the post that Vodafone plans to announce the Vodafone 360 service sometimes today. So let’s see and will update you when we have the info.

Unlike many people think, the BlackBerry Storm 2 will be coming out before the Bold 9700. According to the source, the Storm 2 is set to be released on Mid October and Vodafone will be the first carrier to bring the Storm 2. A week after Verizon will get the Storm 2 and followed by Canada.

For the Bold 9700, seems like the phone will have to wait for few weeks after the Storm 2. It’s expected to be released in Mid November close to first day of December. But good news for UK customers, T-Mobile UK plans to release the phone in October.

Not many details about the spec at the moment. But the phone supposed to have Wi-Fi, a nice big OLED touchscreen display, 8 megapixel camera. Also said that it will be launched together with the upcoming “Vodafone People” service to include features such as active contacts, location information, status updates, various integration with social networks like Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Looking at the picture above, there’s no info about the price yet so i guess it still takes few weeks or more before it’s officially launched. And according to the source also, the model name as well as the OS platform could be changed.

The guy at The BlackBerry Zone only reported that the Vodafone in UK is set to release the Storm 2 (9520) in October while Verizon in the US is still on for Storm 2 (9550) release in November, around Black Friday time. However looks like the October release for Vodafone UK is to soon since few days ago Vodafone Promotions UK announced that Vodafone UK will release Sony Ericsson Satio in October and seems that it will be a biggun for Vodafone. So i guess it would more likely be end of November or December. Anyway, we’ll keep you updated when new info coming.
