iPhone comes to Brazil: Claro closes agreement with Apple

América Móvil (Claro’s controlling company) confirmed agreement with Apple to bring iPhone to Brazil still in 2008. After much speculation, we’ll finally have the device officially in the country. They haven’t disclosed prices or specific date yet, but at least we know it’s going to happen.

I already have an iPhone that I bought in Paraguay in January 2008, so I can say it really is a revolutionary device. The touchscreen interface and overall quality are impressive. It will be interesting to see how Claro will price it and what data plans they’ll offer, because iPhone really needs a good connection to work well. For those who were waiting, they’ll finally be able to have the device with warranty and official support in Brazil.
