iPhone Comes to Ireland

by Matt Pippen on March 9th, 2008

iPhone IrelandApple’s COO Tim Cook recently announced O2 would be carrying the iPhone in Ireland starting March 14.

The 8GB model will cost 399 Euro, and the 16GB model costing 499 Euro.  The rates are a bit more interesting. For 45 Euro per a month you get 175 minutes and 100 texts. For 65 Euro per a month it bumps to 350 minutes and 150 texts. Finally for 100 Euro per a month you max out at 700 minutes and 250 texts. Your probably asking “Where’s the data limits?” Unlike other countries O2 is only giving 1GB of data for each of the above plans. Which is on O2’s part disappointing. In the end this could actually hurt customers who use a large amount of data. Which isn’t to add in the fact the iPhone uses a large amount of data standard. Think about how often it checks your email, one of the many mobile Internet functions of the iPhone. In addition,Visual Voicemail isn’t supported.

This wasn’t the only think Cook said. He brought up Apple’s pursuit to expand the iPhone into new geological areas.

Many Canadians have been long hoping this would be them. However, I believe a Canadian iPhone launch might be a bit further off due to Rogers, the primary Canadian wireless carrier, dislike to offering an unlimited data plan.
