Ireland’s network operator, O2, has confirmed that the iPhone will be launched in Ireland on March 14th. The exclusive deal signed by O2 follows the exclusive deal they have for the UK.
And just like the UK, the iPhone will be available through O2 retail stores and Carphone Warehouse retail stores. The 8GB and 16GB iPhones will be released with prices of €399 and €499 respectively. O2-Ireland will introduce three voice & data plans, starting at €45. Plans will include voice, texts and 1GB data bundle.

Next country on the list? Austria. Austria’s population: 8 million, or 2.6% of US population…
