From Engadget.com Tuesaday 5th Feb
Update: We just received word from multiple sources that the O2 staff has been notified of the 16GB iPhone launch at 1:30pm UK time. Price: £329. That will likely translate to $599 in the US like the original 8GB iPhone.

the sister camera site letsgodigital is normally pretty reliable, but launching a model with 16Gb AND 3G with no big press event???
Lets see what, if anything, happens at 1.30 today - only 2 hours to go.
I'm pretty sceptical, but another site has a specs page up

Note the following:
Polyphonic Ringtones - YES
Recording Video - YES
MMS - YES
T9 input - YES
Java - YES
I think these specs are fake.
No way. A 3G 16GB iPhone would be huge! There are so many Americans that didn't buy the first iPhone because they were waiting for 3G. Same with Europe. If Apple launches a new 3G iPhone it will be a killer press event with a little 40 minute stevenote attached.
Not just Americans, but also Europeans, Ossies, Kiwis, and pretty much anyone else with access to a 3G network.
Store is being updated though....
Just saw Japan is down, too... this may not be (just) iPhone...
Canada down... France up... Italy up... Sweden: looks like Europe is up. Just a North America and Japan announcement?
Japan is back up but I don't see anything new... they updated it again later...
Store not back yet so no idea if 3G or not but hey!
No 3G etc. Just a memory bump.
Just got to wait to see what the asking price in the UK store will be... and if we get it today too!
Score one for Ireland.

Obviously didn't read my post through.
Anyway, being that it's not 3G that's the reason there is no real hoopla about it. It's just the same iPhone with more memory. Whoop De Do.
Thats just mean! Finally bring the Iphone up tot he Touch level then extend it again!

Yeah sorry, currently suffering from chronic foot-in-mouth disease.
As for the hardware refresh, I guess that means we (those in nations without official iPhone carriers) must come to the sad realisation that we will have to wait even longer for a 3G iPhone. Dammit Steve
