I needn’t have bothered going to the Dubai desert to find out about the 3G iPhone. Popping down my local High Street produced the same result. The 3G version is out next month in Europe and, in the UK, O2 will handle it.
Last week I asked an executive from Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM), which is selling the new iPhone in Italy, whether that was going to be the 3G version or not, because Apple wouldn’t confirm it. Yes, the exec confirmed, TIM would be selling the 3G version, in Italy, next month.
Today I asked the lady in my local High Street O2 shop. Yes she confirmed that it was the 3G version but No, she couldn’t confirm the ‘release date’.
However a few doors down the road, the release date was revealed by the Vodafone guy who said O2 will be selling the 3G iPhone as from the end of June.
Although Vodafone is also selling the 3G iPhone in Italy, in competition with TIM, the Vodafone guy confirmed that Vodafone would not be handling the 3G iPhone in Germany, France and the UK.
The Vodafione was pretty sniffy about the 3G iPhone: “Our customers expect to get a handset free with a contract, we don’t expect to have to hand over a portion of the call charges and we can’t be sure about the quality of their 3G. Over there they’re behind the European manufacturers in 3G technology.”
Bully for you, I thought.
