I guess its time to have a 3g iPhone discussion since there have been many rumours around and more recently, O2 and cpw to drop iPhone price by £100 until 1st June and Latest Firmware Reveals 3G iPhone Chipset (trusted reviews).

now, I see 3G iPhone confirmed in Italy (engadget)

Its gonna happen, most suspect at the June announcement... so lets hope!

I'm not too fussed at the 3G aspect of the phone (3G is non-existent where I live); it's the other new features I'm looking forward to hearing about, like the camera etc...

The phone probably wont change at all apart from being 3G.

which would be a bit sad 1 year after initial launch, you would hope they would have progressed since then

No one will know the specs for sure until Apple officially announce it. There are plenty of rumours though!

Would have posted this quicker, but the bloody site logged me out again!

Anyway, here's a link to a rumour:

Yeah, I struggled to find it again, too

So, what are the chances of copy & paste appearing on the iphone anytime soon? Reckon the new one will have it?

Yeah, you'd have to hope there is more to the new device than simply 3G. For me personally, I'd simply like a better camera. Away from specs, I hope that the UK retailers offer a wider choice of tarrifs, but I'm not sure there is much chance of that happening. Of course they are avoidable with all the hacks that are out there. I hadn't actually realised you could go into an 02 shop and take away the unit without signing up to one of their horrendous 18 month 'deals'.

I'm expecting to upgrade in the next few months to the G900, but I'm hoping the next iPhone is announced before that so I can make a more informed decision.

Times Online is reporting that the next-gen 3G iPhone will surprise Apple fans with a "radically different" appearance to the current offering.

According to a business article on the site: "Industry sources told Times Online that the device will have a 'radically different' appearance to the current device, which has a 4.5-inch [sic] screen and slick, aluminium backing".

"Among the possibilities are flip version, which would enable the screen to be larger, and a sliding model with a regular Qwerty keyboard - as opposed to a touchscreen one."

The article also states Apple has placed an order with its Asian suppliers to produce 200,000 of the new 3G iPhones by the end of May, rising to 2 million in June.

The 3G version of Apple's mobile phone is due in 2008, with June, which would mark the year anniversary of the device's launch, hotly tipped to be the month it debuts.

A little bit of info coming from the Czech Rpublic. Czech carriers (especially t-mobile) claim the reason why they haven't started selling the iphone is it's low sales in Europe. But they do confirm a 3g iphone "attractive to the european user" with a new design.
BTW- t-mobile is supposed to start selling the iphone (didn't say what version- but just read between the lines in the above paragraph!) in june/july.
