iPhone 3

[MSIC]

My current orange Sony Erricson phone is really hammered, and i'm eager for an iPhone too.
My 18 month (!) contract just ended, so i could get an iphone now, but i guess the smart thing would be to wait until June.

The compass and camera business seem of little interest to me, a doubling of storage to 32GB could be really useful though (i have around 20 Gig of music that i'd love to carry with me plus have extra space).

Next iPhone to launch July 17 with OLED display and glowing Apple logo?

I really hope the Apple logo does not glow in the dark...

1.5x Battery life and OLED screen is dubious ... ?

lol @ the rumoured glowing apple sign on the phone.

You might as well wear a white t-shirt with "MUG ME" in big red letters on.

Oh look...You cannot change the blooming battery as well. I'm not getting a phone where I cannot change or replace the battery on.

Until Apple release this where the battery can be changed I'll be steering clear.

The EU were thinking about doing something about that, hopefully sooner rather than later

I know Apple stuff is expensive, but OLED screen? 7" is like £2K!!!!

I know its a rumour, but I don't really think it will be a shout about release.

Sony has managed one in a walkman recently. It's not completely unreasonable, but, I would agree unlikely

If your hanging on for a product to be changed by EU regulation, then really its a sorry state of affairs that the capitalisit competition haven't produced something without that restriction which works for you!

I'm not. I had the original iPhone 2G and I'm now happily using a 3G one Quite simply the best phones ever.

That said, the battery life is my one complaint so I would be quite happy for that to be fixed.

There is also an "iPhone 2,1" defined in a new developer build of the OS.

Thats not 2.1 though, the original is identified as iPhone1, and the 3G is identified as iPhone1,2

What's the iphone 3? if you mean 4g, then I'm here for that too.

By the way, the next iphone will be the 4th gen. The original iPhone design came out with 2 gens. and the current one is the 3rd gen. (also including 3G capabilities), so the next is the 4th.

that is the dummest thing ever...'it came out with 2 gens'..NO IT DIDNT. it was the first gen iphone that used GPRS or "2G", the currrent iphone is 3G but the second gen, and the next one will be 3rd gen but will prob be 3g+/hsdpa etc..

Is there a reliable or confirmed specification yet?

[Funkstar]

There won't be a onfirmed specification until Apple announce it at a keynote speach. That is the way they handle things.

Anything before that is conjecture.
