AT LONG LAST WE IN IRELAND GET THE IPHONE

Looks like folks living in Ireland will be able to get their hands on the iPhone starting from March 14 onwards, with the 8GB and 16GB models retailing for €399 and €499, respectively. This news from O2 will see the iPhone being made available through the carrier's retail stores and Carphone Warehouse stores. There are three call plans to choose from - the €45 option will net you 175 anytime minutes and 100 text messages, while an extra €20 monthly will include 350 anytime minutes and 150 text messages, and a cool €100 results in 700 minutes and 250 text messages. Each contract comes with an 18-month agreement minus unlimited data and Visual Voicemail. Ireland joines the US, UK, France and Germany in the list of countries that have officially received the iPhone.
