3G iPhone is finally official!

The 3G iPhone was announced yesterday by Steve Jobs at the Apple Developers Conference in San Franciso. The new iPhone is actually a little thicker than the old one, but you really don't notice it - thats what the hands-on reviewers at Gizmodo say.

The phone comes with 3G, GSM, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as connectivity options. The back of the iPhone has been the main change 'appearance wise'. It now has a black plastic cover with a camera on the top right.

The new 3G iPhone also provides better audio clarity and the person at the other end can also hear ou better. All in all, at a reduced price of $199 bucks this is surely a good deal. The phone will now be available with over 40 carriers. They are listed below for your reference.
