According to Stuff, the 8gb model will come clocking in at a massive £370 (~$750) while the 16gb will be a hefty £470 (~$950) – ouch. This is by no means officially confirmed, though Stuff have had a decent track record when it comes to rumours. Of course, this means our own predictions were way off. Maybe we were just dreaming.

So yeah – there may be some truth in these numbers; but really, £470? Ouch. That’s more expensive than a PlayStation 3.

TechCrunch UK have apparently had a source from O2 confirm that the 3G iPhone will be free on an 18 month contract to new O2 customers, but £100 for existing customers. This is not officially confirmed by the carrier, so take it with a pinch of salt – it sounds pretty realistic, though.

Hopefully there will be a Pay As You Go version on the phone, or at the very least, some cheaper tariffs.

After significant dissecting of the devices firmware, Engadget state that tri-band HSDPA (3G) and GPS/Sat Nav is absolutely confirmed. Here are all of the technical details:

Just one more day to go until Steve makes an announcement – make sure you check back around 7pm UK time tomorrow!

Well people, Mr. Blury Cam is back with some brand new iPhone 3G ’spy shots’. Apparantly, the guy who took these photos saw his friend working on a few advertisements for Apples website containing the 3G iPhone, so he took some quick pictures and uploaded them to Flickr.

We have to admit, these are probably the best pictures we’ve seen so far. It could easily be real, but again, there is absolutely no way to know for sure until Monday comes.

Here are a few more of the leaked images…

In other news, many (well, let’s be honest – Gizmodo) expect the 3G enabled iPhone to arrive in Europe for sale on the 18th of June. Concidently, In Spain there will be a grand opening of a flagship Apple Store in Madrid’s Gran Vía on that day, which would be an excellent opportunity to launch the phone over there.

Word on the street is that O2, the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the UK, will be launching a slew of awesome new tariffs and deals for the second-generation beast.

According to analysts, the 3G-enabled iPhone could be selling for as little as £100 on a mid-range Tariff, and even free on higher level price plans. Currently, the cheapest tarrif O2 offer on the iPhone is £35 per month; this is simply too much for a lot of light mobile phone users – myself included. We have heard that O2 will be launching two new iPhone tariffs, priced at £15 per month and £25 per month.

Additionally, we hear there are solid plans in place for a contract free Pay As You Go version of the device to be launched for £249.

All in all this is excellent news and should boost iPhone sales considerably in the UK market.

Apple’s mothership New York Fifth Avenue retail store, which is a 24-hour store (just so you know), was closed down this week. Now, it doesn’t take a genuis to work out something must have been going on; this store has only been closed down twice, ever. Rumors began flying that the reason for this closing was so that Apple could film the new commercial for the upcoming 3G iPhone, which is rumored to be introduced this Monday.

We’re not agreeing with the rumour, but there is quite a bit of evidence suggesting they were filming. We’ll find out on Monday!

Sources close to the 3G iPhone launch have told Gizmodo that Apple will announce their new model at the WWDC Keynote on June 9th.

Gizmodo just dropped this little gem, which to be honest, isn’t really anything we didn’t suspect already. They continue however and mention that the second-generation iPhone should be avaliable worldwide by the 19th June. That’s pretty fast, but again, nothing we weren’t really expecting.

Dammit Apple, just say it already.

Sounds neat, but according to the rumour, the record companies involved in the yet-to-be-finalised-and-entirely-speculated deal are asking for a higher premium for tracks than if you were to download them via traditional ways. Hum.

Could this actually be the 3G iPhone? Maybe.

The iPhone doesn’t cost three g’s, but it’ll soon support 3G. Ok – that was seriously lame – and with that, I bring to you… The 3G iPhone: What We’ve Heard So Far.

It all started when AT&T’s CEO Randall Stephenson blurted out this when asked about the possibility of a 3G iPhone:

You’ll have it next year.

It was obvious we would get a 3G iPhone eventually, but this statement just backed up everything we’d been hearing. After this, the interweb went shit-stirringly mental, with stories popping up daily about how awesome the next-gen i(jesus)Phone is going to be.

So time went on, and we entered “next year” – as to be expected, the rumours were coming in from left and right. There are so many of these rumours its become pretty hard to keep track of what has been said – here’s what we’ve heard so far…

• 3G Support (holy shit batman) with the ability to fall back to Edge.
• GPS – you know, for actual tracking. None of this cell tower malarkey which to this day still displays my house being in the middle of a nearby fucking lake.
• Video Chat Mirror Thing; Kevin Rose brought this up in a recent episode of Diggnation – apparently he has an ‘inside guy’ who has told him the camera on the iPhone will be in the same place it is now, except it will be ‘like a mirror’ where it can record from either end, so that you can do voice calls and all that cool stuff. Interesting.
• Avaliable in all black or all white. No more aluminium back. Nice and glossy.
• Faster CPU, more memory.
• Reports of a larger screen by Intel; possibly confusion, as most other rumours out there state the screen is the same size.

So there you have it; that’s what we know so far. Obviously, none of this is confirmed, but most of it may as well be.
