Re: 3G iPhone

It would make no sense from the cost of manufacturing the phones to not support all the bands, since the Iphone is hitting EU, Asian and Pacific (eventually.. atleast Australia) and the US, making a different phone, while makes sense from apples carrier agreements, makes no real sense from a cost of manufacturing perspective where different radios for different countries would be required..

Now what they may try to do is region code them like DVD's, where if the phone is destined to a region, only that radio for that region or carrier will work (that also solves the retail price being significantly lower or higher in certain countries, to prevent importing of the iphone).

Just some speculation...
