The Indonesia's largest cellular operator, PT Telkomsel, is slated to sell the country's first iPhone 3G mobile handset on March 20 in the capital city of Jakarta.

"iPhone 3G will redefine our consumers' mobile phone experience," the Jakarta Post daily on Saturday quoted Telkomsel president director Sarwoto Atmosutarno as saying.

According to Sarwoto, iPhone 3G is available in over 70 countries worldwide, while Telkomsel also would invest 1.5 billion U.S. dollars this year to expand its 3G network.

iPhone 3G combines three products in one, a mobile phone, wide screen iPod and internet device. It also includes fast 3G networking, GPS mapping and support for enterprise features including Microsoft Exchange.

Telkomsel was the first operator in Indonesia to launch 3G services in September 2006, and had the biggest 3G community with more than 9.2 million subscribers in more than 140 cities in the country.
