Come July 11 and we shall see beginning of a new revolution in mobile phone world.

Apple has finally raised curtains from probably the most awaited phone of 2008. The next gen 3G iPhone.

Steve Jobs, CEO Apple Inc, introduced the 3G iPhone in a june 9 keynote address in San Francisco.The main attraction to me is the price tag which is so attractive that it is hard to digest. To get your hands on the 8Gb version of the phone you will need to spare just $199. The 16GB version will be available for $299. You will have choice of two colors, black or white for the 16 Gb variant and just the black for the 8Gb one.
iPhone will be rolled out in 22 countries on 11th July and will gradually be sold in 70 countries.
The key features:

  • Apple 2.0 firmware
  • GPS support
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), UMTS, HSDPA, GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz), Bluetooth 2.0
  • Faster internet. Upto 36 times than comparable Nokia phones.
  • Push e-mail from MobileMe
  • 3rd party apps
  • 2.0 MP cam (but without flash)

Downsides:

  • No video recording
  • No MMS
  • No java application support
  • No radio
  • Bluetooth without A2DP
  • No front cam for video calls
  • No flash

But its still good for that price bracket.
