Listening to CNet podcasts, I’ve been hearing lots of news about Apple plan on bringing out the 2nd version of iPhone with 3G capabilities

“Our latest channel checks point to a significant production build of a 3G iPhone beginning in the month of June after an initial small build in May,” as said by Bank of America analyst Scott Craig.

According to AT&T, last year it expected to sell a 3G version of iPhone in 2008, but it did not comment on the expected launch dates. Apple representative Jennifer Bowcock declined comment.

Craig said that now he expects production volume to be much higher then estimated Apple planned to build more than 3 million high-speed iPhones in May followed by more than 8 million in the third quarter of the year.

Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart said it would make sense for Apple to bring out its high-speed iPhone in June around the time it launches an upgrade to iPhone software.

Apple expects to sell around 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. It said in January that it had sold more than 4 million iPhones since the phone was launched in June.

One of the biggest minus most people felt was the slow EDGE connection for the iPhone. Now with that addressed, this has just become the almost perfect phone for me.
