NEWS UPDATE: 3G iPhone as soon as tomorrow?
UPDATE: Both the UK and US Apple stores have sold out of the 8GB and 16GB models, and aren’t replenishing stock. That's on top of Carphone Warehouse and O2's depleted store cupboards.
Apple’s fondness for updating its online store on a Tuesday means our basic arithmetic involving the number '2' has us thinking there could be a new iPhone as soon as tomorrow... Read our iPhone story from last week below.
We wouldn't blame you for being sick to the back teeth of news and rumours regarding Apple's iPhone.
Nevertheless we feel duty bound to keep you up-to-date, so here's as close to concrete proof of an imminent new version (most likely a 3G iPhone): O2 is no longer selling the original models – the 8G and 16G – as confirmed on the company's website here.
We have covered the extensive rumours in detail on this website, see here and indeed here, and it now looks for sure like a new model is imminent.
While there's no denying the iPhone is pretty smart already, we would naturally welcome the faster browsing that 3G should bring... For now, we wait with bated breath.

Hmm... correct me if i'm wrong, but the website only states that the 8GB version is currently out of stock.
O2 are still selling the 16GB version as a matter of fact.
Why is this 3G version THAT much better than the current model. I mean all this hype and complaining of a new release so soon after iniital launch is it really justified by 3G. I must be missing something here.
Sams Son - You are right in that the o2 website has changed its tune. Though as you can see from the picture at the top of this news story (if you squint a little), they were clearly saying "8GB & 16GB iPhone. iPhone no longer available". Perhaps somebody has ticked them off for jumping the gun?
Well, that didn't seem to happen, then...
Alas not. Is it waiting for a

perhaps they will do something sensible, like make it available to people not on O2 contracts.....
Since when did Apple have to do anything sensible for the blind faithful to buy product by the truckload?
