One iPhone 3G shopper from Germany noticed the package label listed their new toy as an 8 GB 3GS instead instead of the intended 8 GB 3G (the contents were what he was expecting, in any case). It could be as simple as typo or database error, or it could be a hint of an as-yet unannounced model. Rogers had shown a glimpse of an 8 GB 3GS over the summer, but currently it’s only available in 16 GB and 32 GB flavours. One would assume a 3GS with less memory would be cheaper, but there’s yet to be any info on pricing.
