O2 the exclusive carrier of 16 GB iPhone 3G S have sold out all the handsets in UK in the store as well as online. According to the O2 website they have for the time being run out of stock. iPhone 3GS sell out in the UK may be a plan to augment interest in this mobile phone, with many new Smartphone in the market like the Palm Pre. It is also possible that there is an actual shortage of the 16 GB iPhone 3GS in the UK.
With so many new mobile phones being launched this summer it may not be very good news for Apple. It can be great for Palm though, who is looking forward to sell their Smartphone Palm Pre from the O2 stores very soon. Users who have expired contracts may not wait for the iPhone, especially when the Pre is expected to be launched as a competitor to this Apple model.
It has not been easy for Apple to maintain the stock of the 16 GB iPhone 3GS from the time it was launches some weeks back. It just disappeared from the shelves one fine morning and it is not known if the requirement for this white mobile phone model was very high, or Apple is not manufacturing enough handsets for the market.
There is no need to get disappointed as you can book the handset online and it will be delivered to you very soon. To join the list of 16 GB 3GS iPhone owners you can take it free of cost for a monthly payment of £44.05 every month for a two year contract or just make a down payment of £440.40 and it is yours.
