"iPhone will make its official debut in Israel this week when the country's three main carriers will start selling the coveted smartphone 2-1/2 years after its initial launch."
Besides Cellcom, Partner Communications and Bezeq Israel Telecom will be selling the iPhones starting Wednesday night at midnight. Each cell company has committed to purchasing a minimum of 80,000 iPhones each but the analysts expect that number to increase. According to the article, the cell phone penetration rates in Israel is one of the highest in the world at 125%, with about 80,000 citizens in Israel already owning unlocked iPhones according to estimates.
