Hi there! I am sure the info is imbedded somewhere in this forum and I did search, but without much concrete luck. Does anyone know when the new iphone 3G will be out?

I really really want one and was willing to wait, but now my Nokia N80 (worst phone I have ever owned btw having been replaced four times during my contract period) has started playing up yet again and I might need to get something quite soon. I really WANT an ihphone just because it looks cool, will be something different and it looks like fun. Also means I will not need to buy an ipod (don't have one yet...) and carry yet another device around which sorta make sense to me. Might also consider a Mac to replace my PC at the end of the year.

Also phoned about 5 different Vodashops and Vodacom SP and answers differed from don't know, end of this month and end of next month.

The thing is...IF it is relativeliy soon I will get make an effort with my current POS, but if it will be another couple of months or longer I will need to replace it now - maybe with an HTC Diamond?? I do not really need anything fancy or business like, as long as it can do the basic business stuff, looks good, have reasonable battery life and do not bore me to death within a month.

Help! :-)
 
Yup smartcom sent out a mail saying that the phone will be available end august, begginging september.
 
Posted on Macrumors yesterday, sadly no Vodacom listed. 22 countries are listed here. At this rate MTN will get it before Vodacom.

During their Q3 2008 financial results conference call, Apple announced that they would be launching the iPhone 3G in 20 additional countries on August 22nd. Several carriers have started announcing their plans:

- Singtel of Singapore sent out an email (image) telling interested customers that they will be sending out more details next week. Those who sign up at singtel.com/iphone will receive priority.
- TeliaSonera announced that they would be bringing the iPhone 3G to Estonia on August 22nd. (via setteB.IT)
- Airtel announced the iPhone 3G will be "coming soon" to India. (via TechTickerBlog)
- Orange announced that they will be bringing the iPhone 3G to Romania on August 22nd.
- O2, Vodafone, and T-Mobile have announced the iPhone 3G for the Czech Republic.
- Orange and Era will be offering the iPhone 3G in Poland.
- Globe Telecom announced for Philippines.
- T-Mobile announced for Hungary.
- Orange and T-Mobile have both announced for Slovakia.
- Movistar has announced for Chile.
- Telefónica Latinoamérica (PDF) and América Móvil (via CNN) have both announced for eight Latin American countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, and Uruguay. América Móvil also adds Honduras and Paraguay.
- According to setteB.IT, Latvia and Lithuania will have coverage from TeliaSonera.
 
The HTC is tooo expensive.

How do you figure that?
Diamond sells for under R7.5k on Wantitall, I think Rendier's price is R8k or you can get it from the scammer on BoB for R5.5k, without the actual phone. :rolleyes:
