The image above is straight from the O2 Web site and, if you needed further proof that a 3G iPhone is just around the corner, then look no further.
The company is no longer selling the 8Gb or 16GB iPhones, a sure sign that it’s cleared stock and is awaiting the arrival of the 3G model. Those who actually bought the cut-price iPhone in recent weeks, knowing that a 3G version was coming, should have their heads tested. Others would argue that buying the overpriced Apple accessory in the first place is a sign of some mental deficiency.
That aside, the exact date of when it’s arriving is a little unclear but a recent memo to AT&T staff has banned holidays between June 15 and July 12 due to a ‘major promotion’ – i.e. the 3G iPhone.
The iPhone launched on June 29 last year but since that’s a Sunday this year, the smart money is on it coming earlier than that, maybe closer to the middle of June.-Martin Lynch
