Well, it's rumored, but Steve Jobs giving a keynote at the beginning of the WWDC at 10am Pacific Time (1800 GMT) is almost certain to be the next generation iPhone. Though many have called it 4G, surely it will be HD or something not 4-inducing.

I'm interested to see what it will be like (though Gizmodo will of course give the look away), it's specs and importantly when it's out! I'm out of contract on a 3G, so look to get the new one as soon as it's available.

Anyone know where we'll be able to watch it (the keynote) - do they show it live on apple.com?

I was out of contract for a while but eventually went for the Desire. I just got bored of the OS and Android suits me much better.

I'm interested to see if they will be taking the OS to the next level. Multi-tasking just isn't the next step for me, it has been possible on other phones for a while so I don't see why this should be a big deal.

I hope they come up with something new and interesting but I'm not sure they will (hopefully be proved wrong though!)

As far as I've been aware they don't/won't be streaming this announcement. Best we can do is follow Twitter/Live updates from Engadget etc.

Waiting patiently, been out of contract for 4 months and had a broken screen for 16 months. Need a new phone.

As ever, no live video streaming but there's a whole host of sites doing updates including pics as they go.

Stick this in your RSS reader or the podcasts bit of itunes and download when it goes live, usually a few hours after the event.

Random question, does anyone know how much a 2-3 month old 3GS would sell for? In mint condition never taken out of a rubber case, screen protector was put on before the screen was touched?

Well new unused phones are selling at £280 on eBay. Anyone with sense right now will know there will be a stream of 3GS' coming up for sale soon.

The 3g/s prices will drop very quickly on Ebay etc as well soon as many people (myself included) will sell their current iPhone to get the new one...

just been looking at the o2 tariffs (which seem to apply to all smartphones)and the original tariff i was on, £35 with 600 minutes has now gone up £5 per month but with unlimited texts (woohoo! not!). Not sure if i will be able to keep my existing one month rollover contract and get a payg phone when/if the new one comes out. Vodafone are eeven worse as they lock you in to a 24m contract
