O2 has dropped a small bit whether data which hints at the launch period for the 3G iPhone. It is not very exact, just like all the other rumors regarding dates, it does say that they expect it “in the coming weeks”. Well, that is about as vague as it can get. O2 has states that they will be making a joint announcement with Apple in that moment to announce the new device.

This is of course falling in line with the rumored duration we know now, which is June 9th. that is of course referring to Apple’s WWDC event that is being held that day. O2 was still shy about the exact moment that the new

iPhone would come out, saying instead “that is more of a question for Apple”. Well we know Apple is not going to tell until they have to, so looks like we still have to wait whether we want something more solid.

According to O2, they will have the exclusive rights to sell the new iPhone in the U.K. and Ireland. O2 is already Apple’s partner for selling the device in those areas, so it is not a surprise O2 gets that one too. O2 is currently sold out of iPhone’s, which has prompted many rumors the newer iPhone could be dropping on their network shorty.
