3g iphone

So after hundreds of rumors and insider stories all over the wonderland (www), here we have the faster & cheaper - 3G iPhone. The new iPhone comes in two colours Black and White.

Here is the quick Specs:

  • 3G - Apple claims 3G is faster than Nokia and Treo.
  • Same camera - NO improvements
  • The 3.5mm headphone jack is normal. So no fussy adapters required. Plugin your favourite earphones freely
  • Better battery life
  • 8GB version $199 and 16GB version $299
  • Weight goes down by 2gms, thicker by 2mm. But thinner edges.

Looks like Apple has been keen on making the iPhone affordable and being powered by iPhone Firmware V 2.0, the loads of software’s and games (official this time!) makes the package much more interesting. Many of thee software are Free. Mobile Blogging Apps, Sega Games (Amazing Graphics) and more have been demoed. Also this time the New iPhone’s will launch in multiple countries simultaneously.
