Apple to announce a 3G iPhone for Europe on Monday?

By Dusan Belic on Friday, June 29th, 2007 at 9:18 AM PST
In Apple, Devices, Rumors, iPhone

Apple iPhoneSounds quite improbable, but what the heck — I’m going to cover it nevertheless. Apparently, Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) will be announcing a 3G iPhone on Monday that will be sold in Europe. According to NewsWireless, Jobs&Co will partner with T-mobile (NYSE: DT) and Vodafone (NYSE: VOD), as well as Carphone Warehouse to distribute the fancy device.

The unlikely moment here is that with this move Apple would instantly mock all the people waiting in line to grab their 2.5G iPhone. I could imagine their frustration once they realize that their counterparts across the pond surf the Web with the full speed of 3G. Nah, we’ll have to wait for at least a couple of months for the 3G version.

More Apple iPhone launch coverage from the 3rd Street Promenade Apple Store in Santa Monica, CA

Apple iPhone launchAlrighty, it’s been a long night – no sleep and lots of excitement. Into iPhone’s been on the street getting you live coverage of the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone launch event from the 3rd Street Promenade in beautiful Santa Monica, CA. Technical issues have taken down our live, streaming webcast, but we hope to get that up for you as soon as we can.

The scene here was abuzz with iPhone anticipation as we waited out the pre-dawn hours. People were dancing, singing, drinking, and even playing kickball! Everyone here is as friendly as you can imagine a bunch of iPhone fanatics would be – it’s like our own iWoodstock.

The weather was pretty mild last night – thankfully. Not too cold, not too hot, not too anything – just right. That probably contributed to the general liveliness of our pre-iPhone support group. The cops were out to make sure that everyone was generally safe and under control. If you got a chance to check out last night’s live webcast, you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t, well, you missed the fun.

The sun is up now and everyone is basically passed out from exhaustion – especially the drunks next door. After a long night of drinking and rowdiness, the tipsy group of guys ordered some pizza (yes, delivered to the 3rd Street promenade) and passed out just in time for sunrise.

Delirious doesn’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling right now – but I’ll keep trudging along for you guys! It’s all part of Into iPhone’s (and IntoMobile’s) commitment to you, our  readers!

How stalkers use the iPhone

“Let’s say you wanted to contact your ex girlfriend, to let her know how badly she hurt you…” The Soup has a funny video explaining how stalkers user the iPhone. One more reason to buy an iPhone – it “never sleeps with your cousin!” :)

Motorola RAZR 2 launched in Korea

In Motorola

Two QVGA screens, one with touch support one without, quadband GSM, 2 megapixel camera and thinner than Lindsay Lohan after a week in Columbia (sniff) the RAZR 2 has just launched in Korea. Half a million Korean dollars sounds like a lot, but it is only $540. Not bad at all.

T-Mobile 8320 to be the first BlackBerry with WiFi, launches in September

In Devices, RIM (Research in Motion), T-Mobile

BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) is not joking around when it comes to making their devices more appealing to a wider audience. The 8320 is expected to have a 3.2 megapixel or better camera, 3.5 mm heapdhone jack, microSD slot and compatibility with the latest Windows Media DRM files.

I still refuse to touch a crackberry with a 10 foot pole due to the horrible font rendering. I don’t care how stable your platform is, if I’m going to be reading massive amounts of text I prefer it being in a font that is not reminiscent of courier new.

Cellphone concept by an artist who forgets these things live in our pocket

I’m all for innovation, but you have to be joking if you expect me to buy something like this. Beyond the cool you’re left with a device that has a hump in it and we’re not talking about lovely lady lumps either.

HTC announces the P6300

Just when I thought the 3.5 inch screen would be awesome, they actually tell you it is only 320×240. Give me VGA or give me death, the next device I spend my hard earned dollar on will have twice the pixels as my Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E61i.

Back to the P6300: Triband, WiFi, 400 MHz internal processor and dare I say it … Windows Mobile 5?

diehard4 Nokia owns the fourth Die Hard film

According to Mark Guim, who happened to see Die Hard 4, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) devices are all over the place:

Terrorists and Bruce Willis had the Nokia N90. The Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) Guy, Justin Long, had a Nokia E61 and Nokia 9300. The evil hacker had a Nokia 770 tablet.

I’ve yet to see this movie. Definitely on my todo list. Huge Bruce Willis fan.
