apple will do itself no good by having such steep pricing for the unlocked version. However it wouldn't be long before the geniuses out there unlock or jailbreak this!!!

            If you are yet undecided whether it is worth spending that kind of money on an upgrade or whether it's a good time to jump on the iPhone bandwagon you are welcome to check out the upgrades that the 3G S puts to the table over "here".

              The no queues is somewhat Apple deserved! Bravo! Apple lost people interesting.

              Come on! revolution maybe not, but a similar is a no no welcome!

                  Anonymous, 19 Jun 2009I watched CNN few hours ago reporting the launch of Apple 3... moreNokia is ready nothing now even thought it still cover most of the market but with recently what Nokia do, it is time to lost the market soon and soon.

                  I live at Malaysia, state Johor Bahru which cross a bridge will be Singapore. It is became more and more peoples taken others brand phone than Nokia.

                  And frankly said Nokia N97 won't be a big success, it is not as good as it suppose to be, the not so fast processor already kill it. Some more it is so bulky and not many people need hardware base QWERTY keypad.

                  Nokia needs to given better hardware to fight back the market, their N-series no longer stand for future. Nokia also need to change their designer, recently most their phone design is ugly or no changes. The only beauty look phone Nokia recent announcing is 5530XM but the spec is targeting for budget market. Where is Nokia high-end series? I can't seen.

                        Nokia E72 is so gonna kick the smart phone market in the ass when it comes it in a few months. The fastets connections speeds, great OS, 5mp with flash and 3,5 mm headphone jack improving even more on the E75 excellent audio qualities, in 3 hot colours. I was thinking about some Samsung and LG Touchphone or the N97, but i am definaetley gobba wait for the E72

                          GSMArena writers and everybody else who is a proffesional in this business respect the iPhone very much becouse the impact it did to the mobile phone industry. Not to mantion that after testing every slow and lagging Nokia and Samsung you start to hate them and you get an iPhone because it just works fine.

                          Apple has done a great job this time as well. There was no need for a revolution this time. Nokia is still years behind Apple.

                          And we all know why is Nokia the market leader - bacause of the 10£ phones sold to masses in Africa and Asia. Anyway this is going to change soon since Samsuing is going to take over Nokia.

                          Great job Apple!

                                I watched CNN few hours ago reporting the launch of Apple 3GS in US. as much I could see, few people were queing in front of apple shop, maybe around ten persons or so.. Anyway, one mobile expert that was being asked by CNN reporter, "what do you think is the serious competitor for apple 3GS?" He said Blackberry but it still need to catch up. And the other one is palm pre.. Not a word mentioning Nokia, let alone N97. Quite surprising e that Nokia is so unpopular in US, majority of people don't know or don't even care N97 is exist Lol.. But my point is, if you interpreting the US trend as a world trend, add to some justification to side with Apple, you are wrong. Nokia is the market leader all over the world and should be given some due respect. And do we even realizing the bigger fact US is on the process of stepping down from his status as world leader. In terms of world currency, my newspaper this morning said that China, Russia, India, Brazil and among other country try to make other international currency via IMF, rather than than US dollar. We will see this in the next 50 years. I'm not US hater having said this, but that's the fact, that inevitably will also influence the world phone industry.
