Telenor to Bring iPhone 3G to Norway on March 20

iPhone 3G combines three products in one - a revolutionary phone, widescreen iPod and breakthrough internet device, to create an incredible mobile experience. With fast 3G networking, GPS mapping and support for enterprise features including Microsoft Exchange, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. The groundbreaking App Store provides access to tens of thousands of applications from games to social networking to financial planning and health management, generating more than 500 million downloads to date. iPhone 3G is now available in over 70 countries around the world. 
 
"We are delighted to offer our customers the opportunity to enjoy the unique iPhone 3G experience, combined with Telenor's high speed 3G network," said Ragnar Kårhus, CEO of Telenor Norway.
