iphone-3gsThere has been a shortage of the iPhone 3GS in 16GB stock as reported by the Carphone Warehouse, and it claims that the mobile phone has been sold out all over the UK. It is expected that the handset will be back for ordering online very soon. You can get the latest details on the handsets on Mobile Choice. It could be a strategy to pump in more interest in the smaller edition of iPhone as launch is becoming a remote memory, or there is a chance of a actual shortage of the 16GB Apple iPhone 3GS in the UK.

If it is true it may not be the best news for Apple, but good for Palm, which is launching the Palm Pre very soon from the same O2 shelves. If your contract is over it may not be possible to wait for the iPhone and may get tempted to take a Pre which is very similar to the iPhone.

Most probably the 32GB editions are available in the stores but it may be a good idea to call up your local O2B or the Carphone Warehouse shop before going out. You don’t have to worry if you are looking for the 16GB 3GS, as it is expected to be back very soon and you can pre-book the model. It will be delivered to you in a few days. It is not known when the shelf stock will be made available for the users.

In spite of doubts over the expense, present contracts and the new features offered by the new iPhone compared to earlier model, the mobile phone has been selling well since it has been launched. In fact Apple was able to sell around a million devices in the first three days itself. The 16GB iPhone 3GS is obtainable for free at £44.05 monthly payment for a 2 year contract or you can pay £440.40 for the Smartphone.
