According to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, the 3G Apple iPhone will be available sometime next year.

Apart from that we have no more information concerning what type of 3G network the device will use, how much it will cost, and when exactly it will be released.

Apple in its turn did not announce any new versions of the iPhone.

According to recent reports, Apple iPhone has serious connection problems on the British O2 wireless network.

The carrier received complains from its customers that most of the time they see a "No service" sign of the screen. There was a suggestion on Apple’s Support Forums to fully restore the phone's firmware to avoid any more issues, but frankly speaking the problem must be in the network itself, especially when knowing that the indoor reception turns out to be even worse.

Finally, Apple iPhone is now available in France from Orange.

This is the second country (after Germany ) to offer unlocked SIM-free iPhone, in compliance with the law. You can get the unlocked version for about $965.32 in France, or for $1485.91 in Germany. Pretty expensive don't you think? Anyway, the handset is also available for $593 after a contract with Orange.

As you probably know, T-Mobile Germany has recently started offering unlocked (contract free) iPhones for 999 Euros.

Well, they are not really unlocked; you purchase a regular locked handset, and then send the phone's IMEI to Apple for unlocking. Within 24 hours they send you an e-mail saying "thank you”, and after that you just connect your iPhone to iTunes and voila.

According to a reliable source, the new upcoming SDK for the iPhone scheduled for February 2008 release will bring Java support to the handset.

This means that Apple iPhone owners will finally be able to use and play Java applications and games on their devices. There is not much info available at the moment, but we know that the phone's processor supports hardware Java acceleration, so, all we can do now is wait for the official release.

People from WMExperts made a 25 minute long video clip where they compare the Apple iPhone with the HTC Touch. Overall, the Touch gained more points and won the competition thanks to its high productivity.

However, if you need advanced internet and multimedia experience, then the iPhone is the right choice for you.

Apple announced today that they are about to release yet another firmware update for their famous iPhone.

According to a person who has already tried the upgrade, the version 1.1.2 will include additional multi-language support and access to The Cloud Wi-Fi spots.

However, what worries us the most is the possible blocking (once again) of cracked handsets.

If the ad you see on the picture is true, then we can expect the iPhone to be available in Canada from Rogers Wireless by December 7 despite the difficulties we told you about earlier.

It will cost C$499.99, or about $519 USD after a 3-year contract. Pre-orders will start on November 20.

In an attempt to prevent the iPhone from further hacking and unlocking Apple decided to stop accepting cash for these handsets.

The only way one can purchase an iPhone today is by signing a 2-year contract with an official carrier, such as AT&T for example.

AT&T pays Apple about $18 per month for each iPhone they sell with a contract, so as you can guess this is much more convenient than if a person buys the device for cash and use it on some other network.

Apple has recently launched the iPhone Development Centre, a portal where you can find tools, applications, tips, optimization, entertainment and other useful stuff for the handset.

Online experts will answer almost all your questions regarding the device. There is also an agenda for upcoming workshops in the U.
