i have the current iphone model since june last year.. fabulous fone. will get the new one since it will have 3g.

50k on the higher side. iv been selling them since august last year. they now go for 45k each. lakini old model have been halted by apple. new model to be cheaper.

iPhone 3G is available in 22 countries from July 11 from $199. I'm curious to see if this is going to be operator locked.

Kenya is on the map of 70 countries to have the iPhone 3G by the end of the year....

I actually think that it won't be that expensive... but lets wait (eagerly) and see

iPhone 3G is not just about the 3G.

A-GPS was the feature I was really interested in... the stuff and possible services.

And by the way,it looks like Apple will be on Orange (at least in Kenya)....

Its likely to be with Safaricom re the Vodafone connection like in the UK.

from 11th july - http://www.apple.com/iphone/countries/ke/

If - as Apple claim - the iPhone will be available in Kenya via Orange then Orange (better known as Telkom in Kenya) will be selling the 8Gb iPhone at around $238 a la the TKL way. I can't see Orange giving up 100% profit after the TKL staff that haven't been bumped convince them that us docile folk will pay the premium without complaint.

If the 'Orange' way were to be felt then surely by now everyone would be talking about the revolution Orange had brought (pun intended). Instead I haven't heard one positive thing come out of the new Orange management at TKL other than the fact that they want to go GSM rather than CDMA (and further reduce our calling tariffs - I can't wait for that price war in a few months when 4 networks are competing for my sumunis).

I hope I'm proved wrong. I'd really love that gadget but only at fair market value.

For all the naysayers - apart from a plethora of added improvements the iPhone 3G has wifi and push email which makes it a very cool alternative to the Blackberry - but at a cheaper price. As for using it for Internet access with a laptop - what can I say,... next year when the submarine cable is here we should have very affordable Internet access from our ISPs that'll make always on broadband in the home affordable and computer access to the Internet via phone a redundant thing of the past. With broadband at the workplace and broadband at home you can then use your iPhone for fast Internet access in those delayed transition situations like traffic jams.

Just hope the fast Internet thing goes that way and not the West African way - prices there have hardly budged as unscrupulous Internet businesses and the gava fleece the public.

@redice - if Orange sells at inflated prices we'll need your contact details.

i doubt anytime soon.. and even if they are out say kesho... why be tied down to one network on a contract? esp a network thats brand new in the country and only on 30km radius in nbi?

and not to mention a network without 3g for the next year or so...
I have the 3g iphone for sale...
