AT&T announced unlimited voice and data plans for the 3G iPhone.

We don't know if the messaging is included in the mix, but it looks like new iPhone owners will be paying more for the data used: $30 per month for simple and $45 for business users.

Regarding voice plans, we only know that the pricing will start from $39.95, but a more detailed pricelist will be available when the device actually ships.

Finally it's happened! The 3G iPhone we've all been anxiously waiting for for quite a long time was officially announced today. Without the unnecessary talk let's get down to business. The most notable features (or rather improvements) of the new handset include:

• Thinner edges;
  
• Plastic back;
  
• Headphone jack;
  
• iPhone 2.

Now this is interesting.

Reportedly, four teenagers were banned for life from all the Apple stores in the world just because they have downloaded a third-party racing game to their iPhones at Apple’s University Avenue store. And to think Apple was planning to start encouraging customers to download similar apps to their phones beginning next month.

Don't you guys think you're overreacting?

Nevertheless, the company's officials deny the fact of any bans from their side, but are short on details.

A telecom company TeliaSonera announced that later this year it will start offering the Apple iPhone in the following countries:

• Sweden,
• Norway,
• Denmark,
• Finland,
• Lithuania,
• Latvia
• and Estonia.

Sprint announced that it plans to release the Samsung SCH-M800 Instinct on June 20th.

The phone was first spotted at the 2008 CTIA show in Las Vegas; it is an iPhone-looking handset with a large touchscreen display, built-in GPS receiver, EV-DO Rev.A 3G data for fast downloads and uploads, and much more...

According to Electronista, once Rogers Wireless releases the iPhone, its customers will be able to surf the web with no limit for just $7.

If that's true, Rogers subscribers will be the lucky ones to take advantage of one of the world's cheapest data plans to date.

Knowing this, we expect a high demand for the handset in Canada.

There are rumors saying that Apple plans to enter the Korean and Japanese markets with their 3G iPhone on hands.

As supposed previously the upcoming handset would not be fully compatible with Japan's 3G network. But this appears to be false, as Apple intends to release its next-generation iPhone simultaneously in both Korea and Japan on Korea Free Telecom (KTF)'s and NTT DoCoMo's 3G networks, respectively.

According to Gizmodo, the launch of the 3G iPhone is nearer that we thought, on June 9th at WWDC Keynote to be precise.

Unlike the first iPhone, the new model will not be an exclusive to some carrier, but will be released within a short period of time in the U.S., some countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, and Australia.

According to the source, there will be new sales policies, which might help lower the price even at the time of launch.

After Vodafone and Singtel, Orange is the next operator to announce the upcoming availability of the iPhone to its customers in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Orange’s African markets.

The release is scheduled for later this year.

Thus, the iPhone will soon be available almost everywhere.

Well, it looks like 3G iPhone is definitely coming in June.

First - no vacations for AT&T store employees until July, second - the "next month" hint on Monday, third - the upcoming 1 year anniversary, and now this: according to O2's CEO, the anticipated handset will be launched in "the coming weeks."

But even after all that we still can't specify the exact launch date.
