Optus today announced that it will launch the iPhone 4 in Australia on July 30 with a large range of plans that will provide more value than ever before to Optus iPhone customers.
iPhone 4 features FaceTime, which makes the dream of video calling a reality (over WiFi only) and Apple's stunning new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in super crisp text, images and video. iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording, Apple's A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time - in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world.
iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world's most advanced mobile operating system, which includes over 100 new features. The revolutionary App Store provides access to more than 200,000 apps including the new iMovie app built just for iPhone 4.
"Optus has developed what we believe are the most compelling plans and offers for consumer and business customers in Australia to make the most out of the feature packed new iPhone 4," Austin R Bryan, Optus Consumer Marketing Director said.
"We are offering one of the best value iPhone offers ever with the $59 Extreme Cap plan which includes a 16GB iPhone 4 for $0 upfront, a massive 2GB of data, unlimited calls to all your friends on Optus, as well as $550 of call value to any other network in Australia."
Since launching iPhone 3G in July 2008, Optus has invested significantly in its mobile network and has built over 1,000 new 3G mobile sites and undertaken well over 2,500 upgrades to existing mobile sites. In addition, over the past 12 months Optus has more then doubled the carrying capacity on its mobile network and bought additional spectrum for use in both metropolitan and regional Australia.
