Swiss iPhone, 3G iPhone on June 9th?

Santa Rosa said:
No need to worry my friend. It is for definite there is not going to be firmware 2.0 before iPhone 3G.

I said it poorly, but I meant as long as I get 2.0 firmware on my current phone on the iPhone 2 release date I can handle waiting a few weeks for an iPhone 2. As in I won't stand in line for a new phone or care if they take a couple of weeks to ship me one. I want the Exchange sync now so I can get rid of my Tilt PPC.

Yea firmware 2.0 will work with iPhone 1. People are using it at the moment in beta testing on iPhone 1.

Probably not. I don't think apps will be written differently for old iPhones and new iPhones. The only real difference should be the speed of the internet and maybe GPS, that shouldn't really change any of the code

What about the location API (CLLocationManager)?

That abstracts from whether you are using cell tower triangulation, wifi hot spot triangulation or both to provide location information.

You are probably right, I am merely speculating. I don't think Apple is an arrogant company at all but I am just trying to analyze what's going on. They could be following the Wii's example of creating demand but I hardly think they will not follow up with a good supply of them once they come out.

Agreed.
 
Wow this thread really died after the rumor regarding the "tablet" was posted huh. So 3g before WWDC then the announcement of that at the conference?

It also returns altitude, which would only be available from a true GPS module.

Steve said they wanted to achieve sales of 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008 (from the June 2007 launch), NOT during 2008.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

This has been clarified WAY TOO MANY times for anyone, including you, to still get it incorrect.
 
As someone who was left without net access last night and ended up browsing the web for a bit via Edge, I have to say I'm interested to see how they improve the battery life enough to cope with 3G. Using Edge last night really drained the battery quickly, so if the 3G chipset is worse, then I'd love to know how they get round that problem.
 
I know when the new 3G iPhone will come out.....

I know when the new 3G iPhone will come out.....
I do not know all specifications of the new 3G, but from 1st hand,

I DO know exactly when the new 3G iPhone will come out....

Remember my words, dear community, it will be:

Monday, 2nd June 2008

Yea, we will remember your words, then forget them straight after, it makes no sense why it would come out then. That just sounds silly.

Its going to be WWDC keynote announcement, then after that we will know when its being released. Its not going to happen any other way.
 
Want to bet?

Lets bet - 1000 $

ok?
 
I just wait and look how the prices/deals will be. Though I normally prefer Swisscom to Orange. But my bet will be it's pretty high. Let's wait and see. Swisscom said the got "a perfect deal". Not sure if ther're deifinition of perfect is the same as mine.

Well in that case, answer a few questions:
1. Are you really sure, or just guessing to hope you get it right and make a lot of iFriends?
2. Is it announced and released on June 2, or just announced? Is it worldwide?
3. Will there be an event?
4. How do you "know" this?
 
Long way from Home...

Not to worry guys, our secretive contact in Europe, who no doubt has his hand deep inside the Cupertino campus' affairs.....

LMAO.

Hope your right though, 2nd June better than 9th. But its suuuuuch a huge event that SJ would call a massive press release and no doubt a highly public Keynote Address, usual deal... Rumors and invitations for a Keynote Address come 5-7 days before it, so I think our Ceaser will be proven wrong by the middle the week after next week or so...

I do think the product will be announced on the 9th and shipping on the 29th... A simultaneous same day release is too much for them to hide. The phone could be available for pre-order same day tho.... :)

Thanks! :D
 
if it's really the 2nd of june, as a surprise, what are they going go present during wwdc? this question would boot all the rumors/hype!

maybe strategy?

1. sure - no guessing
2. released - AT&T stores USA - rest of the world i do not know details
3. i do not know about event or not
4. direct contact to Apple and AT&T

an for this "cupertino" comment: things often seem "to be logical" .... but apple ist not logical, apple is PYCHOlogical ...

AvE!

This is what I call good news. Hopefully this helps preventing Swisscom from setting up horrible prices as it was rumored elsewhere (e.g. 50 Rp. per 1 MB :eek:)

Yesterday, even the third Swiss carrier Sunrise announced they will be selling the iPhone in summer. That IS good news indeed.

So we're going to have a healthy competitive situation, none of the carriers will be able to set their prices too high.
