In the US the iPhone has been released without support for 3G / CDMA / UMTS. Rumors say that in Europe the iPhone will be released with UMTS support. This perfectly makes sense, since the multimedia functions will lead to a lot of over the air downloads and those can be really annoying if you don’t have a decent speed.
I would like to contract with BASE and that’s why I’m thinking about a new mobile phone with UMTS-support. The choice is not big. I don’t want to buy any subsidised cell phone, I will buy it myself and my budget is not really big. Sony Ericsson W300i a good candidate for that, because it costs “only” 179€ and it has many useful features. But if you know a better offer, I would like to know about it too
