Australian Release
The iPhone 4 is available unlocked from the Apple Store for $679.00 (8GB only) as well as on contract from Optus, Telstra, Vodafone, Three and Virgin Mobile (all the major carriers). It is considered against the Australian Trade Practices Act to grant exclusive rights to a single carrier as was the case in the USA with AT&T having exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in North America for some time.

Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or release:
“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
