“The iPhone Country Count is now up to 78 countries and territories. Thanks to a keen reader, Croatia, Malta and Liechtenstein are getting the iPhone this year too! This list is based on announcements from the global carriers that have made contractual agreements with Apple. It will be updated as more countries are announced as well as the official launch dates,” AAPLInvestors.com reports.

Is the Vatican on the list? That would be Heavenly.
how about non AT&T;areas of the US……….just asking
Here’s another fun map:

Enjoy.
Croatia, Malta, Liechtenstein? Tally four more users, Steve.
Seriously, I hope Apple sells hundreds of millions of these things. The cash flow will boost Mac design and development.
I like the GPS feature of iPhone. Whenever NSA detects an Al-Qaeda operative making a call, Hellfire missiles will lock on. Maybe NSA will send a complimentary text message seconds before impact, “Get ready to meet your maker, asshole.”
Is is true that smartphone intelligence will rub off on users?
“Is is true that smartphone intelligence will rub off on users?”
No, but it’s a proven fact that trolls rub off on each other.
Until the blistering gets too painful.
Damn! Croatia has it and Serbia doesn’t! It must be that T-Mobile that bought out their national mobile carrier… Hopefully, once Vodafone completes its entry into Serbia, they’ll be carrying the phone, thus equalising the perpetual regional rivalry between Croatia and Serbia.
And the number of carriers is even greater (with many countries other than US having several carriers selling it).
I was going to make a comment, about not hearing anything about the iPhone coming to TelCel in Mexico, but checked the site again

woopee
“Is is true that smartphone intelligence will rub off on users?”
No.
Just as I suspected.
By the way, Amp, your map is out of date. Rub harder!
“Croatia, Malta, Liechtenstein? Tally four more users, Steve.”
My little american, You’ve got to know that those very few Liechtenstein users can buy you all, no matter how rich you are, or how much your Apple stocks are worth, + the all United States of America in the bag !!!
Go there and you will understand !!! Have you ever heard of off-shore bank accounts??? Well, they take care of all that… all the money of the world is flying through banks of places like Liechtenstein. Steve certainly know their purchasing power.
@ Ha, Ha,
Rub harder, too!
China and Russia on launch day, 5 mega pix cam on back with video recording and front cam for iChat, trust me it’s all gonna happen. The UK has the best deal with pay as you go, every kid that has an iPod is going to scream for an iPhone. 32 million sold by year end.
MDN Where is the stock ticker?
Oh, I would love to visit Malta. I heard its quite beautiful and the historical landmarks and ruins are just amazing to see. iPhone is Malta is awesome.
And Sparta? Well, they were a country.
Sparta is part of Greece now I believe…
Until Apple can beat my less than $20 a month completely paid off T****phone…
The iPhone is not for me.
Not that I wouldn’t love to have a great Apple product at my disposal, it’s the PRICE GOUGING $60 or more a month for AT&T;service!!!
Give us a break, most of us are in a economic dire straights right now.
Greedy AT&T;.
The iPhone 2.0 should have come in three models.
1: Cheap and basic flip version
2: Present version
3: Deluxe version with larger screen and memory, computer like.
The market is a broad range, just like Apple realized with the iPod, they need to control the whole thing.
When will they realize this with the iPhone??
Answer anyone?
Bueller?
Bueller?
Mad Mac Maniac:
Apple doesn’t have a sub- $1000 computer. There are many, many PCs that could be bough (brand new, not refurbished) for $300, and laptops for $600. If you know Apple, you’d know that a cheap iPhone will not exist. It may become less expensive, although it would be difficult to see it less expensive than $200.
Apple has always had minimum standards below which they just refuse to go. Unfortunately, that automatically means there will be part of global population that will never get a chance to try the Apple user experience (unless they buy an iPod Shuffle, although the level of that Apple experience is commensurate with the price of the Shuffle…).
If you are adamant at paying $20 or so per month for your mobile needs, you may be able to pick up an old, unlocked 1st generation iPhone and use it with your SIM card. Be careful, though, not to use data services, as those $20 bucks will rapidly rise to $70 or more on those pay-as-you-go plans.
Has anyone heard from Steve Ballmer? He has been verrry quite lately. I wonder why?
@ Mad Mac Maniac,
A “basic” version of iPhone devoid of the “unessential” features would destroy that which makes the iPhone the iPhone.
Obviously the iPhone is not for you. Get over it, get a better job, get more educated and get a better job, or quit your whining.
If people in third world nations can afford an iPhone, what’s your problem?
@Mad Mac Maniac..
I just love reading how an average Joe Schmoe seems to know how to better run Apple than the man (Steve Jobs) who brought Apple from the verge of extinction and turned it into one of the most powerful CE companies in the world in 11 short years..
-With iTunes, Apple now operates the largest music outlet in the world.
-The iPod is the dominant market leader and in the top 3 selling electronic gadgets of all time.
-The Mac business and marketshare has tripled in the past 3 years and shows no signs of slowing down.
-Apple retail is the fastest growing and most successful retailchain in history.
-iPhone is poised to become the dominant global leader for the next gen mobile computing device.
-Apple has absolutely zero debt and is sitting on nearly 20 Billion in cash.
Yet, you claim to know what they need to do to succeed with the iPhone better than they do?
Ha. you’re funny!
@c
LOL… yeah I would love to see the 300 holding their shields up and iPhone in hand.
King Leonidis sees his enemies, BB, Nokia, Plam, WinMo…immortals of the smartphone warrirors
Dilios: Immortals… we put their name to the test.
it doesn’t really bring more iPhone without major market like China, Korea. Unfortunately two major phone production countries are missed. I am really disappointed with Apple.
@ Jubie:
Dreadful and inappropriate analogy, there, fanboi. All “three hundred iPhones” were eventually killed off in a battle overcome by overwhelming odds, treason, and treachery.
What’s number 78?
The link says 77.
“it doesn’t really bring more iPhone without major market like China, Korea. Unfortunately two major phone production countries are missed. I am really disappointed with Apple.”
Dude, keep your pants on. There are many nuances and complexities that few of us can appreciate in the negotiations, which I understand are ongoing. Consider that the iPhone will bring considerable competition against handset makers such as Samsung, so there is considerable vested interest in defending its home turf. Also, and others can chime in here, the iPhone may need to adapt to some local standards.
In addition, in countries like Russia and China, you are dealing with deep bureaucracies that make Washington look downright progressive. Negotiations can drag on for months to get approvals. And add to it that Apple wants their dealings to be profitable. Apple’s first responsibility is to its stockholders, who are the owners of the company. Steve Jobs didn’t get where he did by not being a tough negotiator, even if it means holding off for a few months.
As it is, worldwide demand for the iPhone 3G will be tremendous, and I would not be surprised if supplies are tight initially in response to demand. But if you do a head count of the available market for the first 78 countries, the potential numbers will be staggering.
To close so many deals in so little time means that a certain Mr. Jobs has probably had to travel all over the world, and I am sure that the toll on him must have been great. To have signed on 78 countries before the iPhone 3G goes on sale is significant. And it is simply a matter of time before China, Russia and South Korea join the party.
So you’re disappointed with Apple? I am anything but. Fast forward a couple of months and you will realize just how remarkable all of this really is.
Still no iPhone for Puerto Rico!!! What is wrong with this $@IT!!
Puerto Rico have AT&T;and all other major phone companies.
Anyone really know why Apple or AT&T;are not selling it here?
After all, it do work without any issues. The president of my company came to visit from Alabama and his iPhone worked perfectly.
I wrote an email to the FCC, no reply yet!
To me this is really something strange, that we can’t get it and other countries that are not even US territories or don’t have the infrastructure we have in place, either have it or will do shortly!
I asked an AT&T;representative and he claimed he didn’t know if it will ever be sold her in P.R.
@ha ha
LOL.. your such an anti apple troll that you actually took the time and metaphorically subjugated to your twisted reasoning? ahahaha
@jonesy,
“What’s number 78? The link says 77.”
It’s Petoria.
Ampar,
Thanks for the link earlier for things to do in Rohnert Park, CA (Sonoma Valley), but I’m not that lazy. I was looking for personal recommendations like, “I was there last year and this bar was happening on a Thursday night.” Etc.
But still thanks.
To Cubert:
(ok)
@ Ha, Ha
Treason and treachery? That
@ Jubie,
I merely pointed out your lack of good judgment and poor exercise of literary technique.
“LOL.. your such an anti apple troll that you actually took the time and metaphorically subjugated to your twisted reasoning? ahahaha”
By the way, I’ve been a patron of Apple since 1980. I reckon this adds to your repertoire of idiotic statements, fanboi. You are the poster child of America’s infatuation with self-inflicted ignorance.
P.S. Cubert: Can you tell I was bored? Next time I’ll see if I can find those reptilian twin hookers from Sonoma that seek out strangers for a night of tequila shots and hide the pogo stick.
Poor Crabs, thoughts escape him. Try concentrating, Crabs. It’s the process of focused analysis and reflection that leads to a convergence of reason and understanding. Take your time, Crabs, I realize that this mental activity is foreign for you.
Ampar,
Regular old hookers would be fine. No need for reptilian ones.
Make that regular old YOUNG hookers. No desire here for a gum job.
It wasn’t too long ago that many of us were lamenting Apple’s underdog position. Apple’s still the underdog, but lamenting we are not.
Onward and upward!
Apple’s plan: surround China and Russia with all carrier countries until enough black market smuggling and iPhone-envy force them to submit to Job’s will.
Why no South Korea?
Count again, people. 61 countries. There are several countries with more than one carrier.
Can someone spank me? I need the attention.
Who said that. I want to be pinched instead and squeel like pig!
@ ha ha
If you were as clever as you think you are, you would have the IQ of a peanut.
Now fuck off, you turkey, you are getting dull.
@Haha;
You are the poster child of America’s infatuation with self-inflicted arrogance.
Or is that “afflicted”?
This country count is nice – however for those of us living in the USA who still can’t get an iPhone because there is not AT& T service in our area all this country counting is a bit empty.
I want to scream every time I see the AT &T;commercial that tells me they have wireless service in Bangkok or where ever in the so-called third world but I can’t get it in Northwest Minnesota or most of North Dakota.
Can apple build enough phones to keep up with demand? If they were hoping to get 25 countries when they placed the order for the 3G phone, but now have 78 countries waiting…..sounds like the rest of the year is going to be flat out selling phones (initial sales staggered in different countries, and holiday demand) Wow.
Put iWork software all over this thing and something greater will accure
To trex67: They accounted for multiple carriers in the numbering of the list.
This is some iPhone blitzkrieg. I hear Neville Chamberlain is off to see Steve Jobs in Cupertino to see if they can come to some sort of “understanding” regarding the worldwide mobile phone market and Apple’s intentions with respect to the same…
