According to Russell Hewitt, Chief Executive Office at Vodafone Australia, "Vodafone Australia is enormously pleased to be included in the agreement to sell the iPhone to our customers later this year".
 
"The iPhone will be the perfect addition to Vodafone Australia's mobile handset range. The iPhone's Australian launch is well timed to coincide with our plans to deliver an enhanced mobile internet and entertainment experience to customers", he notes.

And stating the obvious, Hewitt notes that "The iPhone has already proved to be extremely popular with customers in other parts of the world and Vodafone is confident that today's announcement will be well received by all Australians who are keen to get their hands on their own iPhone."

And that sound you can all now hear is that of champagne corks popping at Vodafone Australia.
