The readers of the magazine Stuff declared the iPhone 3G as the winner of the best gadget award of the year 2008. The magazine described the iPhone 3G as ‘ a faster, smarter version of a remarkable phone’. Last year’s winner is no stranger too as it was the iPhone 2G. The iPhone 3G won the contest compared to the Sony Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii Fit and B&W Zeppelin.
T-Mobile today announced that the iPhone 3G will be available in The Netherlands starting at just 1 euro for the 8 GB version with a subscription plan. Dutch T-Mobile customers can choose between three price plans starting at €29,95 a month and up to €64,95. Also included is unlimited data at a speed of 2048 kbps download and 384 kbps, free Visual Voicemail and unlimited use of T-Mobile Hotspots in The Netherlands (currently around 1,400 hotspots).
The French mobile operator Orange will sell the iPhone 3G unlocked. The 8 GB version will make you about €509 (802$ !!!!) poorer and for the 16GB iPhone 3G you will have to cough up 609€ (960$ !!!!). Belgium is expected to have to pay roughly the same, this is due to the fact that selling Sim-locked devices are illegal. The iPhone 3G will be available starting from 17th of July in France.
A chinese news paper has publicized the list with all the company’s that are making the separate iPhone 3G components. There aren’t much supprises here, as most of the components we find in the new iPhone 3G have already been used in the current first gen iPhone. One interesting fact is that these company’s will see there revenues increased substantionaly as Apple is expecting to sell more then 27million units by the end of 2009.
AT&T has send a private document to all of it’s storeholders stating that it will be no longer possible to take a iPhone 3G home and activate if from home. The new enforcing policy will force users to sign a contract in both the Apple and AT&T stores. The number of iPhone that a customer can buy is still 3!
