A new article popped up today.

David Manners (Electronic Weekly’s ) writes about a meeting he had with Luigi Licciardi, the executive vice president for technology and operations at Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM).

Licciardi confirms what everyone essentially knows: that TIM will be delivering a 3G version of the iPhone to Italy. Licciardi, however, actually gives us a solid timeframe for the launch:

“We will be selling an iPhone with 3G capability next month”, Luigi Licciardi, executive vice president for technology and operations at TIM told me yesterday evening on a bus taking us out into the desert for dinner following the first day of the International Electronics Forum 2008 in Dubai.

“Next month” conveniently coincides with Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC), which takes place from June 9th to June 13th in San Francisco, CA.

In April, SwitchToaMac.com published a rumor that Apple would be launching the 3G iPhone earlier than expected… in May. At the time, we dismissed it, as the rumor didn’t seem to correspond with the circulating expectations that the new iPhone would be launched in June at WWDC. Apple’s dwindling stock of iPhones in both the U.S. and U.K. however, has made us look at this rumor once again.

As mentioned, SwitchToaMac’s source claimed that the 3G-capable iPhone would be announced in May, with the belief that it would be available for purchase the day after the announcement.

According to our Dutch friends of iPhoneclub.nl it might be possible that Rene Oberman, head of Deutsche Telekom may announce on 15 may that they will release the iPhone to some other european country’s.

According to the the head of DT, they have already sold more then 100.000 iPhones, and he thinks that is a big success.

A new screenshot poped up from the beta5 firmware version.
It appears to have a Enable 3G slider.
Official word is:
Note that this is not fake, it is in the beta 5 .ipsw, but will normally not show up on an EDGE iPhone. Turning 3G on will just crash the phone if you use an EDGE phone. If you do not believe me, then decrypt the beta5 rootfs dmg, and see for yourself in /Applications/Preferences.app/Network.plist

This is unconfirmed news, but some people are mentioning that our installer will soon get an update to version 3.11.

The new features will be:
* Repositories will not be saved in Cash anymore.

* Dynamic size of the field More Info for Sources
