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!
This solution is probably forced to Apple, as in Belgium it’s not allowed by law to sell locked phones.

Some other reports are claiming that this will be the same for India and Australia later this year.

A new week, a new rumor..
Now the rumor states that the 3G iPhone will be released without contract.
La repubblica (Italian Wall street journal) has written an artical where they confirm that Telecom Italia will receive the 3G iPhone really shortly without a long-term exclusivity and without a revenue model (like Apple has with AT&T).
» 3g iPhone confirmed in Italia ??

Gizmodo posted on an interesting topic that came up during a lunch with AT&T’s Mobility CEO, Ralph de la Vega, regarding the iPhone and 3G support.
He said that AT&T expected to have all of the smartphones on their network integrated with 3G. PC Mag’s Sascha Segan asked whether or not this would include iPhones, that’s when Vega said, “Let me repeat what I said: I think that you’re going to see our integrated devices be 3G devices in the not-too-distant future, and I mean months. That should be clear enough.”

It’s still a rumor, but togheter with the iPhone shortages in some stores, it may seem that we will see the 3G iPhone sooner than June 2008.
