While it's a given that the iPhone 3G is hitting the US on the 11th, the rest of our global readership was left scratching their collective heads wondering if they were part of the 22 "biggest markets" mentioned in the keynote. So here you go, the 22 countries scheduled to go live with the iPhone 3G on July 11th:
- Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US.
$199 for 8G and $299 for the 16GB model... in the US at least and with a 2-year contract. The remaining 48 countries listed after the break will get theirs "later this year."

Belgium will be exciting, since it's forbidden by law to sell phones with a SIM-Lock over there.. I'll probably get mine in Antwerp :)

Everybody is getting it except Puerto Rico!!!!!
What's up with Apple, even Dominican Republic is getting it.
In Perto Rico we've had 3G with ATT for quite a long time and it covers all the iland.

Then better start booking a flight to the continental USA this July 11th and snatch your 3G iPhone there, because this time you can't buy it online and activate it via iTunes (you'll have to buy it in-store and activate it in-store). I only know one P'Rican gal with a 1st-gen iPhone (she bought it while doing internship at Seattle, I think, lucky her).
