3G iPhone is alive!

The wait for the 3G iPhone is finally over. Those who thought of it to be just another rumor have a reason to believe Steve Jobs now. The 3G browsing has made the phone's browsing experience worth a shot. To prove this point Steve showed a demonstration in which the National Geographic homepage loaded in just 5 seconds while the same page took 18 seconds on the original iPhone. It has improvements in battery life and GPS, since it uses A-GPS. The new phone is also lighter than the previous rendition and also a bit thicker. There's also an iPhone App Store for iPhone owners to look forward to.

The 16 GB version of the 3G iPhone is available for $299 and the black 8GB version costs $199. It will be available for sale in 22 countries from July 11. If you have purchased a 2.5G iPhone on or after May 27 then you can swap it for this new 3G one without any extra charges, if not, then make sure you have $30 for the AT&T unlimited plan.
