Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Confirmed with the manager of an O2 store. The Engadget rumour is correct.

Handsets are in the stores being ‘checked in’ now. Available from 1:30pm.

Update: Still no news on the UK Apple or O2 sites, but the US stores have them listed at $499 which confirms the price leaks were also correct. No new features, just a second model to run in parallel with the existing 8GB model. iPod Touch also gets a bump to 32GB too which may indicate this form factor still has space for more…

My thoughts? 16GB is nice, but £329 isn’t going to have the people who haven’t already bought one flocking to buy one. Other than a price drop, 3G is the only thing that will do the job here…

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@patphelan if you standby, I'll need to phone Ewan and pass on y our message. I'm one of Ewan's 300-strong ghost Twitter writing team. ;-)

@_netromworld_ that's a difficult choice... the iPhone 3GS is still a total delight to use -- and the camera is much, much improved...

@ilana could be good research for the next book though

@patphelan Ewan says hello

@nokiamobiletalk I had one for about a year -- still have it somewhere -- reliable if a little slow at times, good battery

@carlmartin wouldn't it be interesting if that arse was reading your tweets whilst sat opposite you? ;-)

@bensmithuk d'ya reckon folk are more likely to type in 'mobile industry review' into google? Rather than put the URL on it?
