Finally the long awaited iPhone 3G- the second generation iPhone is official. Steve Jobs announced the all new 3G iPhone at WWDC 2008 today! The new iPhone is pretty much similar to the old iPhone.
What’s new in iPhone 3G?
The iPhone 3G has some awesome features which are certainly worth mentioning. It’s a tri-band 3G phone, Apple claims that the 3G in the iPhone is 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750 and is three times faster than EDGE. It includes A-GPS which supplements regular satellite GPS data with info from cellular towers for faster location. The phones backside look has changed a little bit; it has a black plastic back in the black edition and a white plastic back in the white edition. The battery backup has also improved considerably. The phone has 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio.
What hasn’t changed?
The iPhone look remains the same, no changes except the back. The 2.0 MP camera and the display hasn’t changed. WiFi is still 802.11b/g, no support for Wifi N yet.
Availability and pricing:
The iPhone is priced at $199 and $299 for the 8GB and 16GB editions respectively. The phone will be available in 22 countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US) on July 11th.
