Vodafone Italy offers contractless 3G iPhones for 499 (8Gb) and 569 (16Gb)
T-Mobile in The Netherlands cheapest plan 29,95 eu for what we know at least 2048kbps down/384kbps up. Unlimited data. And 1400 Wi-Fi hotspots, plus visual voicemail.
Pretty attractive
Unless you're with another provider and won't settle for the crappy T-Mobile coverage.
I'll stick with Vodafone thank you, and get my hands on a no doubt soon-to-be-hacked 3G iPhone
Plans out here in Finland, my summary in english about it
Cheaper to buy the whole phone here than at italy, but it's not contract-free (and teliasonera is expensive)

Is the lock for italy only? I could live with a phone that does not work with any other provider in italy
This is not iPhone specific but... Vodafone NZ announced a new "casual" Internet data rate. You get charged $1 (NZD) for the day. You get only 10MB and then you pay $1 per each MB thereafter. They say this is to make Internet usage "much more affordable." I'd certainly be switching 3G off at those prices.
I was going to complain about the Irish iPhone data rates (1GB per month, 2c per MB after that), until I read the Swedish rates, and New Zealand is even worse!
Is that NZ$1 per day, every day, or per day, only on days that you use it? If it's the latter, I assume that Vodafone NZ offers other, typical, by-the-month plans.This is not iPhone specific but...

no iChat nor Skype with T-Mobile
If you are after t-Mobile, you better have a look at the contract details.
T-Mobile spokesman Alexander von Schmettow in an interview with German "MacWelt" magazine emphasized that Instant Messaging and Voice over IP are not included to the service offering when not on WLAN.
His argumentation was with quality (capacity) of the network, while the article points out the importance of revenue from text messaging and network services for T-Mobile.

Update: Swisscom just release their price plans for the iPhone.

Looks like pricing information for Switzerland will be available as with the start of selling at July 11th.Is it just Australia who refuses to release their pricing?
Update: Swisscom just release their price plans for the iPhone.
http://iphone3g.swisscom.ch/?lang=en
Even more interesting are the swisscom fact sheet on the contracts - there is a position dealing with video calls (!?)
From the press release:
There are no such thing as a contractless iphone --- they just mis-worded that sentence in English.
Pay as you go iphones are simlocked.
Also they meant "per minute" voice pricing, not "per hour". Go down to the tariff section.
http://iphone3g.swisscom.ch/?lang=en
The "per hour" pricing is right, it's standard swisscom practice inside their own mobile net and for calls to fixed-line numbers for contract customers - only the pre-paid contract is different as it costs .80 CHF for the 1st hour and then .30 CHF per additional hour... - calls to the competitors mobile networks on the other hand are factured on a per minute basis...
So, you're saying that sentence should read, Whether bought with a Swisscom pre- or postpaid contract, the use of iPhone 3G is limited to Swisscom SIM-cards? Does pay-as-you-go Swisscom service require some sort of contract even though the user is not obligated to pay a monthly minimum?
I just think that it would be wise to read the French and Swiss German language of the website.
"Prepaid-Angebot von Swisscom ist die Benutzung auf SIM-Karten von Swisscom beschränkt." (part of the press release)
reads as: "The pay-as-you-go Swisscom services is limited to swisscom SIM cards only" => as samab said: sim-locked (contract or no contract is of no moment in that case)
Right - I had not thought of that... (a bit unfortunate that one, giving a fact sheet with facts not applicable to the iphone on an iphone mini site...)

Mobistar (the Belgian operator) announced tonight that the scheduled press meeting of July 4th (tomorrow) has been cancelled.
The press meeting was supposed to inform us about the Belgian release date and prices.
The given reason was that Mobistar hasn't been able to get everything ready by tomorrow.
Sources: De Standaard, IphoneClub.nl, ...
My Opinion?
Mobistar = Unbelievable
They can't make any deadline. Belgium announced as july 11th release country.
A few days later, Belgium gets removed from Apple Sites. Mobistar replies me with the excuse that further information will be given later on.
Weeks later Mobistar says they will give info on the press release. Today they cancel.
They should've let Orange stick to the other countries and let daughter company Mobistar deal with other stuff. The othe major operator Proximus would've done it in time.
But that's my opinion, with the necessary speculation
