Vodacom have just announced the iPhone 3GS pricing. It’s coming in rather steep unfortunately, but if you’re on a business contract, then you’ll be able to upgrade without too much hassle. The iPhone 3G has proven to be a fantastic mobile phone and the 3GS will follow suite.

Here’s a look at the costing:

It came as no surprise that the iPhone 3G takes the top spot as your favorite cell phone of 2008 (with 51 percent of the vote!), given that it was also your favorite new Apple product this year as well. And let’s be honest — it’s a known fact that I am a iPhone fan, so I’d have to agree with you that the iPhone 3G is the clear favorite in 2008.

You can’t really go wrong with the iPhone’s speedy 3G connectivity, and endless amounts of Apps that help make your life easier, more fun, and get you to where you need to go faster. I know that if I didn’t have my iPhone, it would be like missing a limb, and then where would we be?!

Today in shady Chinese electronics manufacturer news, we’ve got a whopping three iPhonies vying for your (counterfeit?) dollars. iFone, which isn’t another of my clever puns but is actually a very brazenly-named company, announced the iFone 3G and the two-for-one ripoff iFone X1. Meizu, who wins the dubious title of the classiest in the bunch, has finally made its M8 official on its website.

The iFone X1 looks like a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, but with a touchscreen and without a QWERTY keyboard. The interface, however, is still an iClone, which doesn’t even make sense. The least these guys could aim for is consistency, you know? Short video of the interface below.

After Steve Jobs announced the iPhone at the 2008 MacWorld conference, Nokia soon announced the “Tube”, which is another name for what I’d call the iClone, as it’s literally a copy of the iPhone, well at least I think it is, what do you say?
