iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast* as the first generation iPhone, with built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the recently released iPhone SDK.

“We know that there is great demand for iPhone 3G in Sweden and Telia’s stores are geared up for our biggest product launch ever! We are excited to offer our customers the opportunity to purchase iPhone 3G on-line and in selected stores at one minute past midnight on the morning of July 11," said Håkan Dahlström, Head of Mobility Services Sweden in TeliaSonera AB, in the press release. “We are very happy to be part of the global launch of iPhone 3G and we want this to be a special event for our customers."

From 00:00:01 AM until 03:00 AM it will be possible to buy iPhone 3G in the following stores
• Stockholm: Telia’s flagship store at Kungsgatan 36
• Gothenburg: Telia’s flagship store at Kungsportsplatsen 2
• Malmö: Telia’s flagship store at Södra Förstadsgatan 7

The sales of iPhone 3G will also start online at www.telia.se/iphoneat the same time as in the above mentioned flagship stores.

Apple's iPhone 3G will be available later in the day at 10:00 AM on Friday July 11 in all Telia’s stores across Sweden. To date, more than 50,000 people have registered their interest in iPhone 3G on www.telia.se/iphone.

I've been to Malmö (nice twisty building there), but I think I'll take a look at the 3G at my local store in Manhattan Beach, CA this time.

The Finnish arm of TeliaSonera is having a party in Helsinki at 00.01, an hour before the Swedish party (the time difference).

in denmark telia will charge you the insane price of $126/month (for 300 min and only 300 Mb)...

the iPhone itself will cost you $295 (8 Gig) or $421 (16 Gig)

probably the most expensive iPhones in the world.

MW: enough
