Remember we had our iPhone (UK) a few months after the US - I suspect we may have to wait until the end of 2008 to have a 3G iPhone. By then Nokia, Moto & SE will have devices with new UIs and touch screen (UIQ4 & 5th Edition S60) running 3.5G. In the UK O2 probably wont even have a 3.5g network until 2009! The great thing is Apple is paying (well O2 and T-mobile) for 'educating' consumers on what modern devices can do. Nokia and the others can only benefit from this as they can sell across all networks unlike Apple.
The slowish sales of the 2G iPhone, however, does point to a porblem with the Apple/O2 postioning of the iPhone, in Europe, as internet on the move when people actually like to make calls and send SMS. How many 'normal' people really use email rather than SMS or MMS?

What kind of 3G?
