Have you seen this

Well it is only a prediction of a predicted announcement.

Shipment date is still unknown, but “on course” for the year-end date predicted last October by Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

PLEASE SAY IT'S A LIE I WANT 3G in THE USA

What a bad article.

"It should answer the disappointment with the US version of the iPhone which has been widely slammed for its poor performance as a phone."

- really?

"It may even be possible that European data prices will match, or be an improvement on the eye-watering charges announced by AT&T in North America."

- really? do you mean pretty much the same data plans AT&T offers for all their other phones?


While I would welcome a 3G phone in Europe on a multitude of operators, I cant see Apple announcing it on Monday. That would be a kick in the ass for those who just bought an iPhone in the States and huge PR blunder as nobody would be going to buy a States iPhone on EDGE from that point on.

If they announced that they had done a deal with the operators, thats fine. But I really cant see Apple announcing a 3G version as well.

It's a complete work of fiction. For onething no-one in that hack-rag The Evening Standard would get the inside line on anything. Plus it mentions that Steve predicted a year end for iPhone release in October, curious when you consider that the Phone was announced in January of this year - although obviously it feels like a good deal longer than that.

I expect that carriers and Apple will want to wait until after the US release to see who holds the upper hand, unless of course one of the Big 4 (in the UK at any rate) suddenly thought to get the drop on the rest by agreeing to Apple's demands just to secure the bloody thing.

I agree with the above poster. Announcing a more fully featured phone just 3 days after the US release would be marketing suicide and I just can't see them doing that.

Hi

I have just spoken to the press offices of Vodafone, Carphonewarehouse, and T-Mobile, and guess what, all three of them remained tight lipped with the standard 'No Comment' response.

Whether we get a 3G or a 2G iPhone here in the UK, I am not really bothered, the fact that we may finally know which carrier is getting it is enough for me.

:)

Please people. This story is about as real as Madonna's British accent. :rolleyes:

No Seriously...

Where did they got Bad review for a product that is not out yet?
All the early tests i read where quite positive.

Now, that vodafone and 3G are going to be choosen make sense but i don't see that happening anytime soon. let alone on monday.

I was hoping another carrier than Vodafone would get the iPhone here in the UK as they are not the best, but i guess we will just have to wait and see.

Wow.

The nonsense is flying all over the place today.

Amazing.

I love how the iPhone has a history of poor performance before it is even released.
