Thanks for tipping us this information Josh!
Hi there, I just thought you might like to know so you can post on your website that they have just released an iPhone 3G compatible case from Louis Vuitton Australia (I bought mine the other day in the Cairns store). The price is $315 in their classic monogram design, there are other designs like a classic black available however as I only purchased the monogram, I am not too sure of the pricing for this one. It is designed to have a perfect flush fit with your iPhone 3G (it will however fit the older iPhone, although will be slightly looser as the new iPhone is just that touch thicker around the middle). |

Optus will be the first Australian mobile carrier to distribute the iPhone at midnight on Thursday, followed by Telstra and Vodafone early on Friday morning.
Optus will open its George Street store in Sydney at midnight on Thursday. On Friday morning, the day of the iPhone 3G's official debut, Optus will open a number of its stores two hours early at 7am for eager early adopters itching for their iPhone fix.
Melissa Clare, Optus's corporate affairs manager, said only those who had pre-registered to buy an iPhone with Optus in advance would be able to collect their handset at the midnight launch in Sydney. On Friday, pre-registered customers would get priority service but anyone could come and buy an iPhone.
A midnight opening means that we receive it 14 hours before people in New York (10AM New York Time Thursday = 12AM Sydney Time Friday)

Update (3:38PM): Seems like they took the banner down. Luckily we still had the URL: View the banner here.
JB Hi-Fi has updated their front page with a banner advertising the iPhone with Telstra. No other information at this point.

Vodafone has confirmed that the iPhone will start at $199 on a two-year contract. However, that price only applies on the top plan. If you opt for the base plan the 8GB phone will cost you $549 and the 16GB phone will cost you $699.
That's $80 x 24 months + $549 = $2469! - For the cheapest plan!
Vodafone will offer three iPhone plans. The cheapest, at $80 per month, offers 250MB of data. The next plan up offers 500MB of data for $130 per month. The top plan will provide 1GB of data for a whopping $250 per month.
The plans include voice and text as well as data.
The iPhone will also be available on other post-pay mobile plans from Vodafone as long as you sign up for a 200MB or 1GB mobile data plan. However, what the purchase price for the iPhone itself will be on these plans has not been announced.
