God, i hate timezone! Why? Because the New Zealand people will get to have the new iPhone3G first, on the 11th.

But i guess I can wait a day before I can get mine, or not. You can either pre-order it from O2, but get only one per customer and on a first come, first served basis, or you can order it and have it delivered to your door though iTunes.

Just so you get an idea of how much us mortals want and need the iPhone, O2 sold out the 16GB version in just 3 hours.

I think I made my poing. Over and out.

Boys and gals, the wait is over.

Steve Jobs’ keynote gave in all the info one should / would want to know about the new 3G iPhone which will be released to the market on July 11th. Only 22 countries will get it then but a total of 70 are prepared to give it a try later on.

With a full plastic back, a flush headphone jack, packed with the iPhone 2.0 firmware the new iPhone goes cheaper ($199 for 8GB and $299 for 16GB) than the old 2.5G versions. Add to that the 3G speeds are 2x faster kicking Nokia N95 and Treo 750 right in the soft parts and the fact that “Customers who purchased a 2.5G iPhone on or after May 27 and want to swap it out for a new iPhone will be able to do so without incurring an additional handset charge for the new device” and we’re some happy campers over here.

What do you think?

British carrier O2 could face a $79.6 fine and the reasons may sound weird for some of us. Country’s Office of Communications (Ofcom) announced that O2 they had a very slow growth and failed to build their 3G network on time, by the end of 2007.

O2 is one of the five carriers to have a 3G license and by June 30th they should supply up to 80 percent of the British population. Right now they only serve 75.7 percent and though they are well behind rivals such as Vodafone UK/

The company focused on corporate accounts rather than population and mentioned that there should be no difficulty in reaching the goal. Another reason why they didn’t stress about the deadline was that O2 has the most 3G subscribers even if they have a smaller than average coverage.

If they fail to build their network once again, the $79.6 million fine will be applied.

The guys at WirelessInfo.com made a small test between the new Nokia N95 and the old one to see the battery’s life when used on EDGE and the results came out nicely. It stayed on for 9 hours and 14 minutes and though you may think that was the “big” battery they’ve used, it’s still impressive.

This time they tested on EDGE because last week they got some surprising reports when they made the same test on a 3G connection and apparently the new Nokia N95 ran for one hour less than its predecessor.
