 "Just one year after launching the iPhone, we're launching the new iPhone 3G that is twice as fast at half the price," said Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. "iPhone 3G supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync right out of the box, runs the incredible third party apps created with the iPhone SDK, and will be available in more than 70 countries around the world this year."
In the US the new iPhone 3G will be priced at just $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model when it goes on sale July 11. The new touch-screen handset will also be available in more than 70 countries later this year, beginning with customer availability in 22 countries -- Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US -- also on July 11.
iPhone 3G gives users ever faster access to the Internet and email over their cellular network with quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA for voice and data connectivity around the world. It supports Wi-Fi, 3G and EDGE networks and automatically switches between them to ensure the fastest possible download speeds. The new iPhone 3G also makes it easier to multi-task with simultaneous voice and data communications, so with iPhone 3G you can browse the web, get map directions, or check your email while you are on a call.
Each iPhone 3G will include iPhone 2.0 software which includes the new App Store, providing users with native applications in a variety of categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel. The App Store on iPhone works over cellular networks and Wi-Fi, which means it is accessible from just about anywhere, so you can purchase and download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly. Some applications are even free and the App Store notifies you when application updates are available. The App Store will be available in 62 countries at launch, Apple said.

| A friend from a telco business called me up and tell me do not believe in those rumors because there will NOT be a "SIM LOCK" iPhone in Malaysia and the "UNLOCK" version will not be cheap. Suddenly, my mood is :( !!!
Anyway, if there is no news before September... I'll go and get myself the "CRACK" version! Damn it!
Maybe... We should change it to : "Good Things Might Not Comes To Those Who Wait... :(( |

| yeepeee!!! I'm glad that Philippines is on the list... :D hmmmmmm.... but I am still thinking if I'm going to sell my Nokia N73 ME to get the IPhone 3G. The only thing that hinders me is the camera of the IPhone, 2.0mp with no flash, compared to 3.2mp camera of the N73 with flash...What can you suggest Mr. Windkoh... |
| I'll suggest you to get a "REAL" camera. The camera on the phone is always a toy to me. I never use the camera on my phone before. I'll suggest the list of cameras below for you. 1. Ricoh GR Digital II - The one I'm using. 2. Sigma DP-1 - Hi-end! 3. Fuji F100 - Good Price! |
 | 3G iphone half the price? That's very cheap. Support ActiveSync out-of-the-box, that will definitely a good news for windows user. and the design is cooler i guess :)
I think i better start selling my 8GB soon. else it wont worth that much by then. hmmm... |
 | my fren got it in spore 2 mths ago...
sept?!!!!!
arghhhh...cant wait |
| Actually... I'm surprise do not see China, Taiwan & Malaysia in the list.
As what I know China got the most mobile population and Taiwan & Malaysia is one of the highest mobile usage rate in the world.
Now... I'm thinking of getting the crack one! |
| After watching the Keynote.
I got a very strong feeling that iPhone and Android will bring the social community to real life.
They might be the next "Facebook"! Watch out! |
