Apple to Launch 8 GB iPhone 3GS?
Boy Genius Report has received several tips that Rogers Wireless, Apple's Canadian iPhone partner, is in the process of shipping an 8 GB version of the iPhone 3GS to its retail stores. BGR has also received several photos of what appear to be an internal memo in Rogers' retail computer system announcing the transition to the new model to staff members.
We've had a number of unconfirmed tips over the last few days about this so we figured we'd post it apparently it seems that Rogers in Canada is in the process of shipping iPhone 3GS 8GB flavor handsets to stores. Again, unconfirmed, no idea on pricing (we have no clue where to start on that) but we felt it was newsworthy to at least let you guys know what we're hearing.
According to the screenshots, it appears that Rogers is attempting to sell through its existing inventory of the 8 GB iPhone 3G before transitioning to the iPhone 3GS as a replacement at the 8 GB level.Top Rated Comments

Only real attraction to the iPhone 3GS was the 32GB of storage. I want more, not less.
I see no other reason to upgrade other than to get the storage. Speed isn't that big a deal for me - I'd rather have lots of storage than a slightly faster CPU.

Will this be a Rogers only deal or will this be widespread? Also I wonder if it will be $99 or something higher...

The speed was the main reason I upgraded, I generally keep 7 GB of stuff on the phone. I cant say that I would have bought an 8 GB over the 16GB I have now, but I would have considered it if the price was right? The question is, is this a replacement for the 3G or a complimentary device?

I'm guessing it will be announced in September around the time of the new iPods. Announced with little or no fanfare, I might add.
And probably the same price point.

I can very easily see this happening. Replacing the current $99 iPhone, with an 8 GB 3GS. I just wonder if this is going to piss off a lot of the current $99 iPhone buyers.
