Austrian rag Der Standard is reporting that T-Mobile has confirmed the 3G iPhone for the Austrian market. During a press conference in Vienna, T-Mobile announced that Austria would be one of the first test markets for the next-generation, 3G iPhone. As one of the first worldwide markets to receive the 3G iPhone, Austrians can expect to surf the web at the higher data speeds that the 3G iPhone’s UMTS/HSDPA data connection will allow.
The next-gen iPhone is expected to launch with flexible pricing plans, which is in line with previous speculation that Apple is changing their business model with the 3G iPhone – no longer sticking to a carrier-locked model and allowing carrier subsidization.
T-Mobile has confirmed through other sources that the 3G iPhone is indeed coming to Austria, but launch date details are still being kept under lock and key.
How soon the 3G iPhone will hit T-Mobile Austria is still unclear. Austria launched the current-generation iPhone through T-Mobile just a couple months ago, so a near-term launch of the 3G iPhone would upstage the current iPhone and potentially upset iPhone customers who pulled the trigger on the first-generation iPhone.
