Vodafone’s iPhone launch date announced

Want an iPhone but fancy sticking with Vodafone? You'll be able to get one on the carrier from January 14
Another carrier has snapped up the iPhone

Vodafone has announced that it’ll be stocking iPhone handsets from early next year.
From January 14, you’ll be able to grab an iPhone 3G or 3GS from Vodafone, making 2009’s hottest O2-exclusive phone one of the most readily available in 2010.
However, it sounds like the tariffs on offer don’t vary spectacularly from those we’re used to. Sign up to a 24-month contract and you’ll be able to get by with a £30 per month payment, but it will also involve spending an additional £149 if you want to get a 16GB iPhone 3GS.
Also, 3G data allowances are less than spectacular. Where Tesco has put its cap at 1TB, Vodafone users will only have a gigabyte to play with – just one thousandth of Tesco’s value. Still, that should be enough to keep most iPhone users happy.
