According to Engadget!

    * The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
    * It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
    * The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal -- the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
    * Because it's got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn't have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
    * The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
    * The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
    * The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
    * No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

black 3G iPhone from Engadget is FAKE... it is just a 3rd party casing...

Recent news on iphone 3G... price for iphone with 18mths subscription with AT&T will enjoy a subsidized price for iphone about USD 200 cut... but for those exporters can only get from apple store at the same price... i.e. 8GB USD 399 & 16GB 499...

Verdict... dun have to wait long if you want to get iPhone... price will not be different... unless you want to pay more for 3G which pretty sure Apple & AT&T will not repeat the same mistake (allowing you to activate online) as the first launch... unless it was part of the strategy to sell more...

but u see.. majority of the ppl dont know the real truth behind the new $199 price. All they see is "CHEAP"... and everyday they'll be like "haha.. do u regret buying your current iphone at $399?"... sigh~

Yaya.... use GPS will most probably requires retrieving google map in real-time via 3G wireless networks... so Apple is encouraging you to use GPS... cos your monthly bill will goes up...
so they and the network operator gets better income... not one-time pay... but monthly subscription... woo hoo... kaya lor apple... biggrin.gif

Yep, the iPhone will be available for pay as you go (prepaid) users but the price is unannounced.

As reference,

1) The N95 8GB pay as you go price is 470 pounds after tax.

2) When the 1st gen iPhone was announced, its price was 269 pounds with contract compared to 50 pounds with contract for N95. Point is, the iPhone may be worth more than the N95?

So, we're looking at a pay as you go price of about 450 pounds give or take. Of course, this is just an estimate so take it with a pinch of salt..

Everyone is so hyped up with iPhone 3G... and most ppl got the misleading information from the WWDC08...

Firstly on price and secondly on the 3G thinking there is video calls...

But anyway... 3G is really that quick in Malaysia?
