Good news and bad news on the imminent 3G iPhone front. O2 apparently got another batch of 16 giggers in stock, since it's currently accepting orders, while the 8GB remains out of stock, and both phones remain unavailable on the US and UK Apple Stores. More encouraging, however, is the new listing of an "iPhone Black" model on AT&T's account management site. There's nothing else on the site to hint at specs or release or whether this is indeed the upcoming 3G iPhone, but it does fall in line with the word we have on a glossy black back for the much anticipated phone. Whether all this means we have weeks or months to wait is anyone's guess, but there are plenty of encouraging signs out there for the true believers to cling onto.

Could this be the 3G model ? or is this just a refresh model to boost sales ?

Oh, bottom of the linked page goes like this for some of you that are too busy looking at the pictures.

Update: Telecom Italia Mobile's Executive VP Luigi Licciardi claims they'll be selling the iPhone 3G next month. How's that for clarity? [Thanks, Giovanni]

ah, thx.. i wasn't sure where that should go...
wondering whether steve jobs will do his usual .... one more thing..... slide at the end of his presentation and introduce the 3g iphone...

so rounded at the back
how to put down on table ?
means it must go face down now...

dun have to wait 3-4 months to unlock la..
basic unlocked di..
just see how the new itunes security goes only

nope.. can confirm its not this design..
most likely its the other one with the curved back and in glossy black..
i think the added size could be due to the bigger battery needed to at least match the current battery life of 1st gen

wah eh, yogabest, where have u been ?
people suspecting apple's latest Electronic Computers to come from China to be the new iPhones di lo... the phones are already at cuppertino

yes it is..
announced last special event di.
firmware 2.0 is for the 1st gen.
steve never said anything about it being for a new iphone
but we all know the new iphone is gonna come with firmware 2.0

wish and wish not for it to be that
hahaha
pros, damn cool design. very creative.
cons, the swiveling hinge. bound to be an issue.

i think 1st gen still can source around malaysia.. sure got extra units...
either way, if its hacked, it'll find its way here unofficially...
waiting to buy mine...

still worried about the screen quality tho..
i'm guessing it'll still be using the same screen as the 1st gen...
which has quality control problems..

i am talking more on the colour temperature and the white contrast of the screens... seems some are quite yellow.. infact, very yellow..

rumours say it will be available almost immediately if not a few weeks after the announcement/release..

come tuesday morning we'll know la

relax, no annoucement on 3g iphone yet..
still talking about all the new apps..
getting boring tho listening to them without any video...

skip the crap, jump to snow leopard and 3g iphone!!

he's tlaking about the future challenges of iphone
already mentioned 3G for iphone...

COME ON, FASTER ANNOUNCE IT ALREADY

Added on June 10, 2008, 2:34 amApple has learned so much with the first iPhone. They have taken everything they've learned and more and created the iPhone 3G. Even thinner, black plastic back, solid metal buttons, same gorgeous display, camera, flush headphone jack, and dramatically improved audio.

waiting for pictures to upload

so designed of the curved back are true.. and its thinner than the original..

front still looks the same.






Stats are amazing..
3G has great battery life on iPhone. 300 hours of standby, 2G talk-time now has 10 hours (as opposed to 5), 5 hours of 3G talk-time (most phones only have 3 hour 3G talk time), 5 to 6 hours of high-speed browsing, 7 hours of video, 24 hours of audio.

COnfirmed. WE have GPS people....
Data from cell towers, WiFi networks, and now -- GPS.
