A shipping error may have caused Vodafone New Zealand to cancel its iPhone 4 launch tomorrow, according to MacRumors.
According to local reports, Apple's deal with Vodafone has been canceled in that country as all mentions of the device disappeared from the carrier's site yesterday and no launch plans had been announced. We also received word that Vodafone has posted signs in its stores this morning stating that the launch will not be taking place today.
Update: We've heard that both Vodafone and JB Hi Fi are claiming that a "shipping error" is responsible for the cancellation of today's launch in New Zealand.
Purchasing an unlocked iPhone 4 model at unsubsidized prices through Apple's online store is currently the only available option to customers.
Apple is launching the iPhone 4 in 17 more countries tomorrow.

Currently, you can only buy an iPhone 4 from select Vodafone stores and only if you sign up to an iPhone contract. Apple NZ are not selling any unsubsidised iPhone 4's :(

You might want to check out the Apple NZ website - which suggests otherwise.
