The 3G iphone is finally here, and it looks beautiful, it kept it’s chromed front trim and is officially available in black and white.

My renderings were close but no cigar as they would say. This is true Apple design at it’s best. The feature list and tech specs listed below. One thing that is missing is no Video, no iChat no mention of the front facing camera, boo rumors.

Anyway other than that I am impressed and happy and hope I do receive my 3G iPhone from iLounge as soon as they are available.

With the new pricing (being under the $400 cap on the prize) I hope to get a 16GB white if I can, but will settle for anything and cant wait
Pricing starts at $199 for the 8Gb available in Black and 299 for the 16GB, available in White and Black. It will be available on Jule 11th 2008 in over 22 countries and then will be available in a total of 70 by next year.

It’s thinner, it has a black or white plastic back, solid metal buttons, same 3.5″ display, camera, flush headphone jack, and dramatically improved audio (stereo speakers). Three times faster than EDGE, almost as fast as WIFI. 3G has great battery life, 300 hours of standby, 2G talk-time now has 10 hours (as opposed to 5), 5 hours of 3G talk-time (most phones only have 3 hour 3G talk time), 5 to 6 hours of high-speed browsing, 7 hours of video, 24 hours of audio.

It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.”

“iPhone makes it possible for the world’s best developers to create applications that are nothing short of amazing. Designed to leverage the groundbreaking technology in iPhone — like the Multi-Touch interface, the accelerometer, GPS, real-time 3D graphics, and 3D positional audio — these applications are unlike anything you’ve ever seen on a mobile phone.
