iPhone 3g on o2

UPDATE: I spoke to a very helpful member of staff in the Headingley, Leeds o2 store today, who confirmed that existing customers will get same prices as new customers but will need to get the iPhone 3G online, you need to go to www.o2.co.uk/iphone and register your interest. He also said he’s hoping we’ll get the units on the day via courier, sweet!

As Chris has already reported Apple have announced the 2nd version of the iPhone, the iPhone 3G, which will be available in 22 countries on July 11th and of course the UK is one of those 22, I know some of our UK readers will be saying ‘about time we got something at the same time as the US!’

What I want to do in this post is look at what o2 are offering in terms of the iPhone 3G pricing and their contracts, as yet we don’t know any confirmed information about the Pay & Go offering but rest asured we’ll bring you the news as soon as we know! (more…)

The iPhone is held in some households as a god on a dock of solid gold. Or so I have heard. Now their is a new JesusPhone and it is much improved.

Steve Jobs on stage at the WWDC 2008 stage and all ears were tuned to the iPhone frequency. People lay outside bearing arms if Steve let them down but fortunately he did not.

Mr Jobs first celebrated the iPhone EDGE’s birthday. As a loving parent does he boasted about what his baby had accomplished in his first year. 90% customer satisfaction with 98% of people satisfied with the iPhone web browsing.

Thousands of people were gathered to ogle at the leader of the fanboys Steve Jobs as every syllable that left his and his teams lips was noted down by around 5200 attendees.

There will be more detailed posts to follow but for now this is the quick rundown of what the head hancho and Apple Inc announced today.
