Radio Donna (Belgian radio station) is the first to give away free iPhone 3G’s. The contest will start this friday (27june) at 00:00h european central time. Why am i informing you guys about this? First of all, how is it possible that a radio Station can give away free iPhone 3G’s before 11th of July? And second, the iPhone 3G will not be released the 11th of July in Belgium! Or is this a confirmation that it will be released the 11th?

We already posted the news about Italia getting a 3g iphone without contract in June.
Today some other countries are supposably getting the 3g iPhone without contract.

The news site astel.be is rumoring that the 3 major carriers will be releasing the 3G iphone in June.
Mobistar will however have the scoop for the first xx weeks or months and it could be as soon as May!
