Engadget are currently hosing a couple of pictures of the 3G iPhone being unboxed by some nice Portuguese person. Thankfully they saw fit to take pictures and spread them worldwide as any self respecting Apple fan would.

The Engadget article also features a photo of [...]]]> http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/07/08/3g-iphone-photos-surface-o2-send-out-pre-order-texts/feed/ 2 http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/26/3g-iphone-o2s-payg-prices-confirmed-perhaps/ http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/26/3g-iphone-o2s-payg-prices-confirmed-perhaps/#comments Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:38:09 +0000 Oliver Haslam http://www.the-iblog.com/?p=755
I‘m not really sure how I missed this, but better late than never !

It seems something’s afoot over on the O2 website. The PAYG pricing was briefly showing on the iPhone portion of the site, but was later taken down. Whether this means it was wrong, or just not fit for public [...]]]> http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/26/3g-iphone-o2s-payg-prices-confirmed-perhaps/feed/ 0 http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/11/o2-release-pricing-plans-for-iphone-3g/ http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/11/o2-release-pricing-plans-for-iphone-3g/#comments Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:51:07 +0000 itsallaboutyou http://www.the-iblog.com/?p=727 Well, it appears they slipped this one under the radar!

Whilst perusing Macworld yesterday, I noticed an article by Mark Hattersley setting out the new pricing structures for people wishing to purchase the iPhone 3G on its release date, which is currently anticipated to be July 11th.

So, here goes..

All the hype is dying down, as is my pulse ! So, in the cold hard light of day the question is this: will you be throwing out your V1 iPhone in favour of the all-plastic 3G version?

Reports are circulating that UK iPhone distributor O2 has fired around half a dozen employees and is investigation another 20.

The unfortunate employees apparently bought the iPhones using their 20% staff discount. They then sold the handsets on, presumably for a profit as supply of the iPhone dried up.

An industry source is [...]]]> http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/02/o2-fire-employees-who-bought-iphones-to-sell/feed/ 2 http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/02/3g-iphone-to-be-as-cheap-as-100-in-the-uk/ http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/02/3g-iphone-to-be-as-cheap-as-100-in-the-uk/#comments Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:24:58 +0000 Oliver Haslam http://www.the-iblog.com/?p=654

With WWDC and the impending announcement of a 3G iPhone the world is going iPhone crazy. One thing that no-one knows though is how much the new super iPhone will be.

But fear not, as if you’re in the UK you could be in for a treat. According to phonesreview.co.uk the next [...]]]> http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/06/02/3g-iphone-to-be-as-cheap-as-100-in-the-uk/feed/ 0 http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/05/15/o2-confirms-new-iphone-in-weeks/ http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/05/15/o2-confirms-new-iphone-in-weeks/#comments Thu, 15 May 2008 10:07:06 +0000 itsallaboutyou http://www.the-iblog.com/?p=543  

Well, it appears that the day may soon be upon us…

To be honest, I’ve learnt to take these sort of announcements with a pinch of the white stuff – but bearing in mind the proximity to WWDC and we’re hearing more rumours every day – this may just be the icing on the [...]]]> http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/05/15/o2-confirms-new-iphone-in-weeks/feed/ 0 http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/05/08/iphones-gone-from-o2-web-site-err-no/ http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/05/08/iphones-gone-from-o2-web-site-err-no/#comments Thu, 08 May 2008 18:07:19 +0000 Oliver Haslam http://www.the-iblog.com/?p=477 Some of our fellow Apple commentary blogs are reporting that O2 have discontinued the iPhone, with no more 8GB or indeed 16GB models available. I’ve just had a quick gander at the O2 website here, and that doesn’t seem to be the case as my screenshot below shows.

As the other sites are [...]]]> http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/05/08/iphones-gone-from-o2-web-site-err-no/feed/ 1 http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/04/25/8gb-iphone-gone-for-good/ http://www.the-iblog.com/2008/04/25/8gb-iphone-gone-for-good/#comments Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:30:51 +0000 Oliver Haslam http://www.the-iblog.com/?p=392

Perhaps not the biggest shock in the world, but the recent price drop in the UK has proved rather popular. So much so that O2 appear to have sold out of their stock, with no replenishment to come.

Engadget have got their hands on an internal memo stating that :

In what is surely the least surprising news of the decade, 02 have apparently sold out of iPhones since they slashed £100 off the price. Fancy that. take something that everyone had said they wouldn’t buy because it was overpriced, take the price down by over a third, and everyone buys one !
