Reports confirm that the 3G iPhone will not be available on pay as you go until Christmas, this following huge demand from current and new customers on a contract basis.

O2 had divided its iPhone stock between new customers and current O2 customers requesting free upgrades and had sold out of its allocation of the 16GB handset within hours.

Any remaining stock coming through had already been allocated to pre-orders for existing and new O2 contract customers. Despite O2 investing heavily in their website to cope with demand their site crashed on the day of launch for periods. O2 commented “there has been phenomenal interest in the new 3G iPhone”

Well as everyone certainly expects, the Apple iPhone 3G version could just be around the corner. Already it is gaining momentum by the day that the 3G version is due to be announced.

Many felt it was a let down that Apple did not release a 3G version of the iPhone first time of asking.

Well according to iPodobserver.com there are a few possible changes to the current iPhone.

It will still come in the lower 8GB version but the back of the phone will be glossy black replacing the current nickel finish. Also gone by the wayside is the black plastic which covers the antenna.

As said until Apple’s Steve Jobs lets us know the whole truth and nothing but the truth - this will be nothing than a rumour to go with the many already out there.
