Warning for iPhone buyers
By Surfer_Boy •
I see quite a few people selling iPhones here in Doha, and the prices are dropping... this is because Apple is coming out with a new 3G iPhone in June, with much faster wifi and a larger hard-drive, as well as a few other features. So all these guys who stock-piled the older versions are now trying to unload them on you. If you want an iPhone and are thinking of buying one soon, best wait 2 months until the new ones comes out. Of course, you will also be able to buy the older one a lot cheaper then, also. It's up to you.
Times Online claims the reason for the UK and German iPhone discounts are to clear room for the 3G iPhone. European mobile operators reportedly overestimated demand for the current iPhone and are said to be working to clear excess inventory ahead of the 3G iPhone release.
This claim appears to be somewhat speculative, but Times Online also claims to have heard that Apple has placed orders for the 3G iPhone:
Times Online understands that Apple has placed an order with its Asian suppliers to produce 200,000 of the new 3G iPhones by the end of May, rising to 2 million - 500,000 per week - in June.
Times Online goes on to say that the new version of the iPhone will have a "radically different" appearance.
Among the possibilities are flip version, which would enable the screen to be larger, and a sliding model with a regular qwerty keyboard - as opposed to a touchscreen one.
The reliability of Times Online's sources are unknown, but such a departure from the existing iPhone's design seems very unlikely. Jobs specifically criticized the inclusion of an built-in keyboards amongst existing smartphones when the iPhone was first introduced. Apple is also in the midst of launching a Software Development Kit (SDK) intended for their multi-touch OS X. Radically changing the form factor would splinter the audience for iPhone applications.
Snowstrom, that’s conclusion derived and I guess it is logical.
I thought of the same .. that it will come as ... those current iPhones would be blocked or in no use when they release the new one in June :)

Thats very valuable information. Thanks for the info.
Caution instead of warning would have been more appropriate. The Post title seems that there is something wrong with the iPhone.
