O2 Apple’s network partner for the new iPhone 3G handset has announced that the launch has been hit by supply problems, a spokesperson said that each of the O2 stores would have only a few dozen iPhone 3G’s to sell at todays launch.

Apple have made several changes to the new model iPhone equipping it with 3G technology, GPS Maps and better e-mail management whilst still combining three amazing products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and full web browsing.

If that’s not enough, O2 have now made the iphone 3G more affordable than its predecessor and on certain tariffs it’s completely free.
