Apple have announced that they are launching the iPhone in the UK. It will go on sale on November 9th on the O2 network.
“We picked the best one, the most popular carrier, it’s O2. We’ve since lowered the price of the US phone of the 8GB phone, in the UK the price of the iPhone is £269 including VAT.”
Unlimited data with £35, £45, £55 plans, uses EDGE and GPRS. Hmmm, no 3G not surprised, but can use Cloud WiFi network for
free.
Why not 3G?
Steve Jobs says…
“The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours.Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year.”
Though not a perfect device (no need to list the missing stuff) I do believe that it will be a success and will certainly be emulated by other phone manufacturers in the near future.
