Phase 3
Some of those launches are expected to take place as early as this weekend. E-mails sent to AppleInsider readers this week from local carriers imply the device will be available in both Brazil and South Africa this Friday, September 26th.
In total, Apple plans to announce iPhone availability in 29 additional countries, expanding its global footprint from 44 nations today to 73 by the end of the year.
A complete list of countries expected to be part of the phase 3 launch includes Botswana, Brazil, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia, Lithuania, Madagascar, Mali, Malta, Mauritius, Nicaragua, Niger, Panama, Russia, Qatar, Senegal, South*Africa, Turkey, and Venezuela.
If the iPod Touch hasn't been approved by the SIRIM, I would imagine that the iPhone would have been approved, either.
Okay with regards to the new iPod Touch the information I have obtained is that SIRIM (as mentioned the "FCC" equivalent in Malaysia) has not gone through with the approval yet. This is because like most government offices in Malaysia, during this month of Ramadan and "Hari Raya" coming up next week (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_ul-Fitr in Arabic)... most government employees work less hours and go on holiday for several days, or up to a week.
