iphone in Mexico?

Not yet. All that was announced in the keynote was "July 11th in 22 countries" and a release to "70 countries total" "over the next few months". Perhaps we'll have more details once Apple updates their web sites and press releases over the next couple of hours.

From the keynote, looks like July 11 with the first batch of expansions.

It wasn't clear from the keynote reports whether Mexico would be part of the initial 22 countries, but as I suspected would happen, Apple just posted a press release for a number of announcements and confirmed that the iPhone would be released through América Móvil on July 11th.

yes mexico is part of the july 11 release
you can find all the countries here http://www.apple.com/iphone/countries/

O yes it was released in TELCEL OK, but the price and the comments from the Telcel rep's... that is another issue.

On regard to the price, Considering 16Gig for a New line, signing a 18 month agreement, you get to pay 4,700 Pesos, around 470 USD. If you just want to change your equipment and buy a IPhone you get to pay 8,500 Pesos (850USD) for the 16Gig...

The reps at Telcel must have commission from Nokkia or Motorola, because all the do is try to incentive you to buy something besides IPHONE.

When confronted about the price being 3 time the price in the USA, the answer was "over there is more economic" ... Go figure? I just do not understand apple doing contracts of exclusivity with companies like Telcel.

Manuel :-o

In the US, if you are not eligible for an upgrade, the price of the iPhone is $399/$499 so your price is actually a little bit lower with a shorter contract.
