In accordance with the July 26 announcement stating “iPhone 4 Arrives in 17 More Countries This Friday,” Cupertino has instructed store managers to open their doors, some earlier than expected, to fulfill the huge demand for the latest version of its revolutionary iPhone.

“Apple’s iPhone 4 will be available in 17 more countries this Friday, July 30,” the company said earlier this week. “iPhone 4 features FaceTime, which makes video calling as easy as one tap, Apple’s new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in stunning text, images and video, and a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world,” the company noted, trying to entice potential buyers of the smartphone.

The phone’s maker further outlines the the key aspects that make iPhone 4 such a must-have device, noting that “iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD 720p video recording, Apple’s A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time.* iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, which features Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform.”

Beginning today, customers will be able to buy iPhone 4 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The device can be acquired through Apple’s retail and online stores, as well as from Apple Authorized Resellers.

iPhone 4 is also available in France, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US and costs $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model. Additional territories have been marked by Apple for a third launch wave of the iPhone 4, although the company is yet to confirm which ones, and when the launch will occur.
