According to the Italian website Repubblica.it, Italy is due to get a 3G version of the iPhone in time for summer. The publication believes that the new model will be based upon 3G UMTS technologies, skipping the current 2G rev of the iPhone entirely.
Telecom Italia Mobile is said to be Apple's initial distributor of the handset, although the phone is said to not be locked to any one carrier. No revenue sharing will take place with any of the carriers in Italy and will likely result in a more expensive phone.
Although the phone will not be locked to any one carrier, it is believed that Telecom Italia Mobile will be at an advantage compared to GSM competitors in the area.
Apple is rumored to have a 3G iPhone set for introduction in June at its Worldwide Developers Conference.
