It won't be qwerty, that would go against everything they've done with the previous ones.

I don't know about keeping stuff hidden either, it's normally known exactly what's coming through apple's consistency, the chinese firms that build the phones and leak the details and accesory makers.

@ slide out qwerty keyboard...

The whole point of their touch screen is no need for actual buttons... You sure you didn't see that on a april fools or something?

The better camera would definately interest me though, it's the biggest weakness on the original iphone... despite being 2.0 megapixel - it's ultimately crap.

There will be another Iphone this year and its likely to be announced very shortly. I think the release dates are around June?
Theres multiple sources, but I think This is one of the latest.

June/July is also the traditional release date from Apple.

Hopefully, they will offer existing iphone customers a chance to upgrade before their contract ends again.

Reference someone comment above about differences, theres rumoured to be significant differences, enough to make me wait if I was about to buy one, including a much high spec processor.

And yeah, it's still rumours that there will be another iPhone - it's looking possible, but certainly nothing confirms it.

CORSA NUT - £660 is nothing, that includes the iPhone AND contract, you could spend that on a contract alone. And it does include Bluetooth, you just can't transfer files with it. And MMS support is coming in the next firmware 3.0. But you can download SwirlyMMS if you have a jailbroken phone, and have MMS now.


Sorry mate but that means absolutely jack all to me!! May aswell be in chinese! Firmware...SwirlyMMS WTF

What do you mean it includes the contract? So you get free calls etc for as long as you own the phone?? I don't get it

I was tempted to get an iphone but I think I will wait for the new one.

Will they offer a bigger storage than 16gb possibly?
