November the 9th is most certainly a day to mark into your schedule! That’s right, it’s finally confirmed, you may have been reading some of this news recently from our previous blog posts or off the news, but O2 has finally confirmed today on its site that they will be the sole carrier for bringing iPhone to the UK.
As well as this, Apple has also announced the same news on their site:
If you would like to know more about the version of iPhone that will be coming to the UK, I would recommend seeing the information provided by the Apple link above. Based on the quick look I had, it seems that the UK will not be the same as that which will be available in Germany by T-Mobile.
From previously leaked German adverts, their iPhone will be 16 Gb with HSDPA, what about ours? Ours will be a quad-band, running on 8 Gb but only with WiFi, EDGE and bluetooth 2.0 (see Apple iPhone specs). If the German rumours are true, then it seems our extra 8 Gb and 3G s’ been pitched…
More on UK pricing and tariffs after the jump…
Just over the weekend I read some exciting news off Gadgettastic regarding some leaked details of the Apple iPhone’s soon to come launch. As seen in the ad below (read in German I believe), iPhone is due to arrive Germany by November 12, “Das Kulthandy aus den USA endlich in Deutschland”, probably reads something like “the mobile phone as seen in USA to arrive in Germany”. Why Germany? As we mentioned previously in one of our posts, T-Mobile will be the sole carrier to bring the Apple iPhone to Germany, while other countries of the EU like France will be brought by Orange, click here to revisit that post.

As seen in the ad, the iPhone will come in a 16Gb version, along side a 2-megapixel camera, it will be a 3G phone (HSDPA)! The handset will be retailed at about £340, while tariff packages that will go with the iPhone will vary from £33 to £46 which isn’t terribly expensive comparing to what we normally use here in the UK. However, whether these prices and the launch date of iPhone in the EU will be ‘sync-ed’ with that of the UK still remains unknown…

It’s been confirmed that Sony will be launching a new revised version of PSP worldwide in September. Though the screen size is the same and it still uses UMD, this new edition is expected to be lighter and 19% slimmer. The battery will also be more efficient, this will certainly improve game loading time. MaxConsole suggests that the biggest new feature is probably the new portable’s ability to produce high quality video output. However many users would actually prefer a second analog stick!
