South Africa Gets New Apple iPhone 3G S in July
Just announced a few days ago at the WWDC 2009 keynote, Vodacom have announced that the new Apple iPhone 3G S is going to be available in South Africa starting from July (following a US launch on June 19th).
Hailed as the “the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet”, the new iPhone 3G S (“S” for speed) just got copy & paste functionality, three megapixel autofoucs camera with video recording functionality, hands free voice control and a new tethering feature that allows you to use the iPhone’s internet connection on your computer (not yet confirmed to be available on Vodacom).
But all these are available thanks to the new iPhone OS 3.0 operating system, which is actually the most significant update the iPhone 3G S just got. It allows for MMSs, instant navigation thanks to the new built-in digital compass, and the ability for iPhone applications to directly address external hardware.
It looks like we’ll have to wait for it till July … right guys?

Cant wait, 7th July Vodacom will update the pricing on there web page, and hopefully the 16Gb will fall into the 8Gbs (discontinued) price range as it did in the US.

Has anyone heard anymore from Vodacom about a release date for the 3gS?

From my side no info yet on the release date or pricing
I have just returned from a trip to Europe and you could get the 3G-s there for 499 euros and pay as you go sim card. I couldn’t get one as you have to prove you are a EU citizen (Apple has got smarter)
