Crave Asia

A world of iPhones

Kent German  |  Jun 11, 2008

I have to admit that during the past year I've been gloating to my CNET Asia colleagues over the iPhone. I just had to savour the fact that at long last the United States got a hot tech gadget before they did. At least with high-end cell phones, that almost never happens.

But in just a few weeks my bragging days will be over. On July 11, the new iPhone 3G lands not only in the US with AT&T, but also in 21 other countries. Then, later this year, Apple will ship to an additional 48 nations in every continent except Antarctica. That's 70 countries, kids--a far cry from the six nations in which the current iPhone is available today.

Interestingly, countries like Australia and Italy will have two supporting carriers. Mainland China and Russia are two big places missing from the list and it appears that Luxembourg is the only country in Western Europe without iPhone plans. So for those who missed the rapid-fire map shown during Steve Jobs' keynote address at the WWDC, here's a full list with supporting carriers (if known).
