Another rumor, about possibly that the 3G iPhone may well be coming out in May 2008

More rumours:
http://www.smartcompany.com.au/Free-...-supplier.html
Seems Sol likes the phone (who wouldn't)...
But, of particular interest to me was the secondlast para where its states that Telstra's FoneZone has bought up Nextbyte and Frequency... this would seem to give some credence to the rumours that Telstra will do the Apple dance.

FoneZone are a Telstra reseller, not a division or a subsidiary of Telstra, so this shouldn't be taken as a definite sign. Perhaps acquiring NextByte was just a gamble on their part, hoping that Telstra would get the iPhone, or perhaps it's entirely unrelated. Remember that it's only AT&T-owned and Apple Stores that sell the iPhone in the US, not AT&T resellers.
At the moment I'm optimistic that it won't be Telstra.

But ew, EDGE/GSM? So late in the development of the iPhone? I guess what I mean is that it's been out this long, everyone else is moving to 3G/HSDPA.. and I know Apple will too.. they just need to start.. Again who knows if they already are working on it? Only Apple knows :P

I think that's a given. They're probably had 3G test models for at least 6 months. |

I'd love to have a discussion about it.. and any better hints/clues as to when it's coming out. Saw an ipod touch today, and WAS going to get one of them instead, but then thought "nar i need a new phone too".

I've read in a couple of places that Telstra was given 50 or so test iPhones...
but they'd be current model iPhones not 3G yet.
I'm still putting my hopes and money on Feb / Mar 08 with Telstra.
Current GSM iPhone.

I hear that Telstra's Sol Trujillo is in Cupertino.
Unfortunately, all signs are pointing to Telstra.

http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/a...-it-next-year/ dun dun dunnnn! :P
I should add that I got to play with a mate's iPhone tonight. Fuck me it's an awesome handset!! I'll have to get used to being unable to transfer files via bluetooth, and multiple sms'ing (hello Skype). but yeah he was going to sell it to me for $500.. but thought "ahh the hassle of leaving 3 to go to a gsm carrier.. can't be arsed".

Where's this info coming from?..
if true it definitely sounds like a sealer to me.
No point waiting for an anouncement during Xmas.. next year now.

I reckon we can start looking at a pattern in apples timetable:
iphone updates middle of the year
ipod updates september
With the iphone being sooooo far ahead of everything else out there there's no reason not to milk gen1 before getting gen2 out into the market.
Which I can only guess at being:
3g, more capacity, better camera, slightly changed design.
Nope, no inside knowledge from me, just pure guess/speculation :-)
