Meantime Apple iPhone continues victorious way on a planet: gadget from Cupertino continue to conquire continental China - Associated Press journalists were reported on “official” iPhone sales in store in Beijing, Shanghai, and others China cities. Of course there is nothing close to a full iPhone’s functionality: the maximum what can be achieved from these “localised” Apple’s mobile phones is possibility of receive calls and send SMS messages.

Neither calling, nor vocal mail are meanwhile inaccessible to the Chinese adherents of Think Different. But that does not prevent enthusiasts to pay 8 800 yuans (approximately 1170 $) for each this “unlocked” device. Apple company representatives publicly are surprised about such business: “we didn’t know about such sales in China, however we wish to declare, that such business is not lawful and of course is not co-ordinated with Apple”.

Today finally was unlocked third Russia mobile carrier - Megafon. This carrier has more secure and more complicated activation process with dynamicly changeable code, and Russian hackers for one moment has losen hope, that they will never hack Megafon. But Anything is Possible in our world. Today one anonymous Russian hacker has published video on Youtube, where he shows to the public how he activates his iPhone with all three Russian carriers,a nd one of them was Megafon. Watch this amazing video, on the backgroung you can hear answering machine with operator russian voice.

Popular British magazine T3, referring to the source in BBC, informs that today will take place the official debut of the European version of iPhone which will get 3G support.

The information is very avaricious. So this night BBC will broadcast Apple announcement where the company will present the new version of iPhone and declares the beginning of its sales in Great Britain. Also it is noticed, that iPhone 2G will have support of 3G networks.

Let me remind, that Apple presentation will begin today in San Francisco at 19 o’clock CET, therefore if T3 announcement is correct, than new iPhone 2G will be declared very very soon.

So what are the chances? I think 50/50. Yes Apple has promised to release iPhone till the end of this year, and during last month the company has signed all necessary contracts with European cellular communication carriers. But, so long-awaited start would be more logic on one of the European exhibitions. For example, during Apple Expo in Paris which starts in the end of September.
Well we don’t have to wait a long time to know the Truth…
