Here we are, the new Apple iPhone3G. Coming to store near you on July 11th.

So what’s new? First thing you see is, no more metal back. It’s now plastic. And with the 16GB model they is a white version as well. Going by the specs, it is slightly thicker than it’s predecessor. What else?

Obviously 3G, improved Googles Maps with GPS (not quite TomTom or Garmin sat nav but an improvement nonetheless), new 3rd party applications available new through itunes, supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, more languages (for the worldwide release later this year) and some other stuff.

Guess it’s trying to push it’s way into the business market now with the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support. But we’ll see.

O2 have also announced their tariffs for the new iPhone. They now have Pay & Go option although details have yet to be released. The Pay Monthly tariffs range from free to £99 for the 8GB and £159 for the 16GB.

So who’s getting one?

Where does that leave the iPod Touch which has no 3G and it costs £100 more. And I’m guessing you might have to pay for the new 2.0 update.
