The 3G iPhone may look ‘radically different’

Most of you are probably sick of all this “3G iPhone is coming, no wait it’s not… no wait it is!” but the (UK) Times has some new info the whet your appetite. In reporting on the difficulty Apple is having selling the iPhone in Europe, which jibes with reports from earlier today, the Times reports that many Europeans are waiting for the 3G version of the phone. In Europe, 3G isn’t seen as a luxury, but an everyday feature that most phones should have.

So, then, the info. Apple is said to have asked its its Asian suppliers to manufacture some 200,000 3G iPhones by May’s end; Apple wants 2 million iPhones ready by June when it’s expected to launch—WWDC?

Even juicier is reports that the iPhone will look “radically different”, possibly with a QWERTY keyboard. Analysts are all over the place, with some suggesting that Apple may eventually release several iPhone versions. That’s what Digg’s Kevin Rose said last month, too, for those of you who hang on his every word.

T-Mobile’s 3G Network Rolling Out May in NYC

We’ve been waiting for 3G on T-Mobile longer than we’ve been waiting for The Police to get back together, and it looks like May will be the month that all this patience finally pays off. TmoNews is pegging the first launch to be in NYC, and spreading to the rest of the country’s major cities throughout the rest of 2008 (list after the jump). Of course, it’s just a rumor so far, but it does seem to coincide with this HTC Touch Dual Into Mobile found on the FCC, which is supposedly headed toward T-Mobile and features 3G HSDPA. We’ll post as we learn more, though we’re hopeful that this could finally be it for T-Mobile users to not pull down mobile data at 1996 dial-up speeds.
