iPhone 3G will cost $199 with 8 GB.

I’ll put this out in bits as Steve talks.

iPhone 3G render times are appropriately impressive. His demo against 3G Treo and Nokia showed 30+% greater speed, 3x+ speed of existing EDGE iPhone. Standby 300 hours, 2G talk 10 hours, 3G talk time 5 hours, browsing 5-6 hours, video 7 hours, audio 24 hours.

Canada, Mexico, South and Central America, Europe and Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia among leaders. All carrier deals are “signed and sealed.”
