After being launched three days ago, Apple announced the unsubsidized prices for their newest 3G item. Vodafone Italy have set a €499/€569 ($773/$881) price for the out-of-contract iPhone 3G. The first price is for the 8GB model, and the second is for the 16GB type.

If you’re from the US, don’t be surprised, as these prices are quite ordinary in Europe, where the HTC Touch Cruise, which has capabilities such as tri-band HSDPA data, WiFi, GPS and touchscreen is being sold for €549. Although it has 3G installed, some expected more from the new iPhone, believing that some old characteristics should have been changed as well. Well, everyone has the right to an opinion.

Although Apple is denying and keeps it a secret, everything is poiting toward a launch of the 3G iPhone. A recent report shows that since 19 March, Apple has received 188 ocean containers with products they have never declared before. It’s said that Apple is stockpiling 3G iPhones in order to match the demands after the 9th June announcement at the World Developers Conference in San Francisco.

As the 3G iPhone will be released on 9th June, AT&T announced their employees that they cannot take a vacation between 15th June to 12th July because of an “exciting Summer Promotional Launch”. I think this says it all and hopefully we will get our deserved 3G iPhone.

Although we knew that the 3G Nokia 6263 handset is on its way, Nokia has just released it. This phone is almost identical to the 6267, as expected. One difference between them is that the 6263 has a camera of 1.3 megapixels while the 6267 has a camera of 2 megapixels. The Nokia 6263 features 2.2-inch QVGA display, microSD card slot, Bluetooth, music player and internet. If you want one you could go and buy one from T-Mobile.
