New iPhone Information

For those having the iPhone 3G already, what else could be said? We talked about iPhone 3G problems more than just once, iPhone 3G accessories, and regarding the iPhone 3G service plans, we had countless encounters with that topic. Obviously, there's still a lot remaining, such as iPhone 3G software, wallpapers, and so on, but for now, there's something even more interesting - the iPhone 3G launches scheduled to take place on the 22th of August!

Just as it was announced some time ago, the iPhone 3G will arrive to no less than 20 countries on the 22th of August, and - for some of them - this is going to be the first iPhone model officially available on the market. Just as a side note - I am sure it's pretty obvious there are some iPhone users there already, since even a few days ago, I saw a guy on the street talking on the mobile, a first-gen iPhone, and we don't have them available through any carrier yet. The funny part is that, at some time, the iPhone was even available through a large retail chain...only that they were selling the jailbroken one! Now, to the list, shall we?

It is also interesting to notice that some of the future iPhone owners in the countries got so lucky, so they can choose one of the few available carriers, up to four providers in Australia, for example(only that Australia already has the iPhone on the market...or "it should," since they also are facing shortages).

That's great news for those living in the countries above and afraid of jailbroken iPhones. The only problem for them could be the price of the service plans, since in some of the countries in the list, this information is still a mystery...
