The phone will be available for free on certain O2 consumer and business tariffs and also available for pay-as-you-go customers. Existing iPhone customers will be given an early upgrade offer to switch to the new model.
The 8GB 3G iPhone will cost just £99 on a new £30 per month tariff and the existing £35 per month tariff. Consumers choosing either the £45 or £75 per month tariffs will get the 8GB 3G iPhone for free.
The 16GB 3G iPhone will cost £159 on the £30 and £35 tariffs, £59 on the £45 tariff and it will be free on the £75 tariff.
The new 3G iPhone still does not carry the capability to receive terrestrial radio transmissions, whether analogue or digital.
Otherwise, the 3G iPhone combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone and adds the faster 3G network capability – improving the potential to receive online radio streaming.
It also boasts built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Hundreds of third party applications now become possible with the recently released iPhone SDK.
