GPS reception would be awful with a metal backing, hence the plastic.

Just said the maximum is 199 around the world. Does that mean the equivalent of $199 or does it mean £199?

Available as of 11th July!

Panzer?

 

[Kainz]

$299 for the 16GB -- a white version of this size will be available too.

"The big news, is $399 to $199 -- we think we can check off more affordable."

"We think the iPhone 3G will be affordable to almost everyone. 16GB model for $299 -- for that model we have a white one

"iPhone started off at $599 for an 8GB device, which now sells for $399 -- we want to make it even more affordable. I'm happy to tell you the 8GB will sell for $199."
