Indonesia’s Telkomsel is set to launch iPhone 3GS on late January 2010, according to our friends over at Gajeto.com.
Frustratingly for people living in Indonesia, the launch of devices like the iPhone 3G and 3GS have been quite slow to market – lagging around 9 months on their original launch date(s) elsewhere. Pricing also isn’t available yet, which I’m guessing isn’t making people any happier also!
We’re told that the sell-through price to clear stocks of the iPhone 3G (to make way for it’s bigger, badder, brother) isn’t too cheap either:
The current “clearance price” of iPhone 3G 16GB is IDR7.5 million (US$750), that include 12-months 500MB data package (worth IDR125,000 or around US$12 per month).
Anyhoo, it’s not too long until the New Year rolls round now, so hopefully there will be some happy people queueing in line to get their hands on the first 3GSs in the country, in the next couple of weeks!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
