The Good, The Bad & The Ugly 3G iPhone
Stumble it!
Rumors are saying that 3G iPhone will be realeased on June but no day have been provided. There are many discussions on how the 3G iPhone will be. Here is the Good, The Bad & The Ugly faces on 3G iPhone:
The Good
1. The Exchange server is the biggest give away i think. It would run so smoothly with 3G iPhone.
2. 3g iphone supposed to be slimmer, but that might not be the case… OR its going to be slightly bigger then the first iPhone due to having GPS.
3. 3G will give me better reception for the cell phone part. **
4. It is a possibility that the new iPhone, whenever it comes out, could have a better quality phone and it may have more hardware features (different camera, GPS, etc.) but these are all speculations.
5. It’s going to come packed with everything the originall iPhone has to be upgraded to.
6. Apple was developing iphone 2 even before the release of iphone 1.
7. 3G will be WITH WiFi
8. 3G will be on 850/1900. As far as I know, the North American version will NOT have 1700/2100 bands. There’s no point because only T-Mobile runs anything but 850/1900 and the iPhone is not supposed to be on their network.
9. iPhone screen resolution will be 1080P and 1TB flash ( lol 
)
10. We are going to see more then 1 iphone! 3G & Non-3G. Probably smaller versions like one with a smaller screen almost like the nano phone.
11. Will be a flip version
The Bad
1. The clerk probably learned about 3G on Hofo. it means nothing.
2. A 3G phone? Hm… And Apple calls itself innovative. So much for a first-mover advantage.
3. They will announce Then drop the price of current then a few weeks later release the 3g just so they can clean out most of the inventory (Remember Old Days?).
4. The argument from Apple goes that 3G chipsets often cut down on battery life — if you’re in an area where calls and not just data are on 3G, you may literally see your call time cut in half. That there’s an “enable 3G” slider discovered in Apple’s firmware reveals that they still don’t expect epic battery life with 3G data, either.
5. 3g iphone is all a rumour till apple says it is comming everyone is waiting for it …. and so many rumours. I went to a hiring even at the apple store and during a question and answer section someone inevitably asked that. They do not know till like the day before it will be released in the stores. If they told all the retail employee’s now it would kill sales of the iPhone. I forget the term for it but it was named after a computer company that did that. Announced a new faster computer that was coming out next year and killed their sales and they could not fund the new computer and went belly up.
6. It comes down to an accommodation. Cingular wants an iPhone exclusive and is probably paying Apple money for that privilege. Apple doesn’t want Cingular Video. So the only elegant way around that problem is to make the iPhone incapable of operating on the 3G network. If you watch his Macworld keynote you’ll notice Jobs says that Apple may eventually make 3G iPhone models. Yeah, right: I’m 100 percent convinced that all it would take to turn an EDGE iPhone into a 3G iPhone is a firmware upgrade, if that.
The Ugly
** The iphone (non 3G version) conforms to the GSM standard. Its air interface is TDMA based. WCDMA is the air interface for UMTS/HSPA (3G), and UMTS/HSPA (3G) is not for data only, its for both.. UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telephone System, HSPA stands for High Speed Packet Access. Yes, there are two radios in a dual tech. GSM/UMTS(HSPA) phone, however that is not the reason why it can do voice and data at the same time, it is because that is a part of the UMTS/HSPA standard.
Also, a phones reception performance depends on how well the antenna part of it was designed, not the technology air interface it uses.

Another News of the 3G iPhone release
Engadget say an ATT employee forwarded them a memo asking ATT employees not to take a vacation between June 15 and July 12 because of a big summer launch or something to that effect.
It couldnt be more obvious its coming real sson. I went to the apple store downtown Chicago yesterday to get my iPhone replaced, and the tech at the iPhone bar said they have been told it’s coming soon, just not when.
