8. Lack of cut and paste text function is currently my only gripe. That is the only thing that my HTC Touch did better.

7. They MUST be working on an iPhone Nano, some way of targeting the lower end, but I can't for the life of me think what they could leave out.

Leave out the phone and you're left with an iPod.

You could leave out the wifi maybe and compromise on the web-stuff a bit, which would let you make the screen a bit smaller... etc.

6. The 3G iPhone has got to offer more than just 3G if it's going to impress me. The current iPhone still makes a good all-rounder device and, while the EDGE connection does make web browsing slow, it's still got free WiFi and bookmarked RSS feeds are a quick workaround.

If there's one thing the iPhone really misses is a cut-and-paste text function.

5. I really don't think it will have a physical keyboard. Apple has spent too much time developing the virtual one!

4. My favourite rumour concerns the addition of haptic tech into the iPhone interface, so you get some kind of feedback when you touch the screen. That makes a bit of sense to me, plus the tech is already out in the market in the Samsung Anycall.

3. it won't be free - it will be expensive just like the actual iphone.

2. It will be interesting to see - would be a major PR disaster if O2 drop it. I have to admit 3G has never really floated my boat

1. Hmmm.... I wonder in what way O2's 'free unlimited data' package will change after the switch to a 3G model? Can't see it remaining free. Can anyone else?
