Unlocked 3G Iphone … Coming Soon

FILES-GERMANY-TELECOMS-APPLE-IPHONE Spotted this on PMP Today. It appears that Negri Electronics have added the unlocked Iphone 3G to their catalogue, here.

No price as of yet, however they seem to believe will be shipping on the 21st July. Radio Shack and Best Buy are are also tipped to join in.

Can’t imagine seeing an Iphone sitting on a shelf in Currys or Argos in the UK for some reason. Perhaps Tesco or Sainsburys will be picking it up.

O2 taking iPhone 3G orders from 4th July

iphone 3g Just returned from a visit to my local O2 store and had a long chat to the manager of the store. He told me that all O2 stores will be taking orders for the the iPhone 3G from 4th July. This is a fastrack order system so you will actually be able to sign up for service from 4th July select your contract go through the credit checks etc and organise any number porting from this date. On the 11th July you can avoid any in store queues and guarantee that you will get an iPhone 3G on launch day. If you are porting your number this can also be arranged so that it is ported on the 11th when you get your new iPhone 3G so no hanging around. I will be doing this on the 4th July so I will keep you all informed how it goes.
