iPhone in UK.... O2 is the telecom provider..... £269 ~ $535 per Jobs.... for the 8GB phone (no 3G, no 16GB, etc...) ...available Nov 9th
other European countries / carriers forthcoming....
Q: why no 3G chipsets?
Steve: "The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours." Yeah yeah, we've heard it before. "Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that's really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. ... WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That's why we chose it."
Steve says 'later next year'... but other rumors say "early next year"
