That's the point why i hope for an 3G version. They paid over 8 billion just for the license + X for network development.
Now, if you're English, I'd assume a touch of sarcasm there, but not if you're American.
Ah, you're American, the word 'awesome' gives it away
Bloody does, innit.
Regardless of the network, if the price point is accurate then it's good news. Nice to see it's not ridiculously over priced verses the US.
Still a horribly expensive phone, but we've already established that a long time ago
I work in Vod-Italy. You don't have the first idea what's a horribly expensive phone.
That's probably becasue you are in Munich
But, TBH.. T-Mobile for Germany, Vodafone for the UK?..... hmmmm... seems like another iTMS Europe slapstick again. First UK, France and Germany, then the rest of us.
Still very good news for our eastern neighbours to be getting it pretty soon!
Leopard in October, iPhone in November!
No, thinking that holland is germany. (but i can't blame them, holland is sooooo small.... try to find it on the map of europe
I think a non-3G iPhone wouldn't work in the UK. What is the point of having a decent web browser without the speed? I bet a pint of good English beer that the iPhone will be 3G for here.
Uk
Don't forget Orange and Voda made a 3g network sharing agreement a few months back. So Voda aren't necessarily the leaders here - it's fairly level pegging between these two at the moment.
I like the thought of Apples and Oranges, but I'll move to another network if I have to, grr.

But if the iPhone becomes 3G for its European release, what does that mean for battery life?
Also, 450 = £303 = $612 - surely this cannot be the case with the "Rip-off Britain" effect we hear of so frequently from Daily Mail-reading scaremongers. If it is the case we're in for a treat; although £30/month minimum contract is still very, very pricey.

Don't come over here, we are all getting bombed!
Great... stop using the tactics of fear to prevent us from wanting to visit over there
I don't care... I will visit there next year... geezzzz...

ARRRRGHHHHH

Far worse then bombs is the weather - summer here is dire so far. Far too much rain. Is the iPhone waterproof (quick on-topic bit there)
Americans have it without decent 3G speeds.
But, then again, they think Budweiser is good beer.
but wouldn't this be the same case in the US
?. I mean, EDGE is significantly slower than UMTS but Apple still went ahead and launched their phone with no 3G. Why do you think Apple won't do the same in the UK?EDIT: Beaten, Damn you Digitaljim

Bring some spare underwear....
Where have you been? Apple's history demonstrates repeatedly that they will add/drop/update products when it suits them and they can maximize their profit. This idea that Apple won't update soon because of a backlash is PURE wishful thinking. If they think it makes sense to update for the Christmas season THEY WILL. They already have the early adopters money. . .they need to continue to enhance it to get NEW customers. To understand Steve's view of us, his loyal customers, read "The Second Coming of Steve Jobs".

We are set right behind the "ass of England"... haha... that's how Anglia looks on the map
Ahum.
You know, it does not make much sence for Apple to produce multiple phones if the iPhone is already a world phone. I would imagine that the currently iphone already supports 3g, by one of the many unknown, apple branded chips and is turned off, or Apple is sticking with EDGE on both sides of the world.
