  Carriers Asked To Disconect iPhones

By David Richards | Wednesday | 26/09/2007

Telecommunication carriers in Australia who are hopeful of winning the Apple iPhone business have been asked to not connect an Apple iPhone to their network, it has been revealed.

Earlier this week Apple has warned that anyone attempting to unlock their G2 iPhone to use with an unauthorised mobile network could find their phones irreparably damaged.

And in another move, the Managing Director of Telstra's Bigpond Business Justin Milne has dismissed claims by Apple boss Steve Jobs that 3G phones have limited battery life. "This is not true" said Milne who was talking at the launch of a major upgrade to the Telstra Next G network which is the world's fastest wireless broadband network in the world.

"When I moved from a 2G phone to a 3G phone I saw no noticeable difference in battery life," said Milne. Another senior Telstra executive said, "I think this is more Steve Jobs and Apple pumping up 2G over 3G as this is all the iPhone is. We know that Apple is working on a 3G phone and I am confident that when this is launched next year the so called problem will mysteriously go away".
