The second world was/is Communist Russia.
Not sure the term applies any more.
(Technically, first world was NATO aligned, Second World was Warsaw Pact, Third World was 'everyone else'. The rich/poor thing came later but is the common usage now, as the old definitions no longer work).
Remind me again why Americans are loathed across the world...

Apple and ATT, Montana and Wyoming is part of the contiguous United States of America.
We do exist, you have trophy homes here and professionals who would like to have the iPhone.....
lol 399 Euro is currently $615 US.
Why not just have someone in the states buy it and ship it and save $200
Yea, I don't know why no Canada yet?

You forgot about 'Buy it in the States', which I will do once v2 appears.

I too share the frustration of fellow Australians, not having the iphone yet because it won't work on any of our mobile networks.
The thing is that compared to the rest of the world it sounds like we actually have money to spend on iphones. Our interest rates have just been put UP, our unemployment is at its lowest rate in 34 years, we have labour and skilled shortages, there are lots of people with disposable incomes, Sydney was voted the worlds best city to live and work in. (by a UK based business climate group) The sub prime thing hasn't really hurt us.
Australia is booming so apple PLEASE PLEASE LET US HAVE THIS WONDERFUL PHONE OF YOURS P L E A S E.
I found this on a website which may persuade apple that there is a sustainable market here, we are not a backwater as most of you think.
"Australia is truly the engine room of the world-it has almost 15 - 20% of world wide production of alumina, industrial diamonds, iron ore and nickel.
There are also vast reserves of oil and natural gas; there are currently over over 60 oil and natural gas fields operating with more to follow.
In addition, of the worlds known reserves, Australia has around 40% of the uranium, over 50% of the Tantalum (an important mineral used in the production of electronic components), over 30 % of the zircon and over 25% of the rutile (both important industrial minerals).
It is no wonder that Australia is seen as the engine room not only of Asia but large parts of the world. "
Import tax and lack of warranty. If it's bust then you'll have to ship it back to the US to get repaired and maybe pay import duty again on the replacement.
Don't get me wrong, 1000 Minutes and more is really nice, and mobile phone plans in general are quite cheap in Austria, but HOW is the 3GB data part better than unlimited?Those rate are so much better than what AT&T is doing here. Can't wait for their monopoly to stop. I switched from been happy with T-mobile (good services good rates) to AT&T only to get the iPhone (bad reception bad rates). Can't wait to get out of AT&T one day.
What is the world coming to? There is needle between NZ/Aus, USA/CAN and Germany/Austria, but no insults flying between Irish and British![]()
So which country will be next?
Of course this depends on legislation and negotiations, but maybe we could have a look at the order in which countries got their iTunes store, to see where apple's priorities are...
1. US
2. France, UK, Germany
3. Austria, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.
4. Canada
5. Ireland
6. Scandinavia and Switzerland
7. Japan
8. Australia
9. New Zealand
And those are the only countries that currently have an iTunes store I think...
