T-Mobile officially confirms 3G iPhone

5 May 2008 18:51 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 5 comments

According to the Austrian newspaper Der Standard, T-Mobile Austria has officially confirmed the existence of a 3G iPhone and says that the country will be one of the first to receive the new phone when it eventually launches.

The article also hints that pricing schemes will change and that the company will offer "more flexible" subscriptions than they currently do.

A German language Apple blog also has a quote from CEO Hendrik Kasteel saying, "Yes, we plan to bring the iPhone with UMTS-support to market, but can't and are not allowed to say when yet."

Although the 3G iPhone has been confirmed by Apple, the company refuses to tell when it will be released, or any new features. Many believe the official launch will begin in June, a year after the release of the current generation iPhone.

*Originally posted by oscarin:* What does 3G stand for, what is it? 3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology, superseding 2G. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of standards under the International Mobile Telecommunications programme, IMT-2000. 3G technologies enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment. Additional features also include HSPA data transmission capabilities able to deliver speeds up to 14.4Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8Mbit/s on the uplink. from Wikipedia [ + quote]
