Lunchtime lowdown: iPhone 3G gets more competition, pushes competition from shelves

It’s lunchtime, so grab a sandwich and settle down for a recap of everything gadget-shaped you’ve missed this morning.

The iPhone 3G’s back in stock at the Carphone Warehouse today, and we’ve also heard it’s busy shoving the competition off the shelves at O2 stores. But after seeing Samsung’s latest offering this morning, we’re not sure how long its position as “most desirable phone” will last.

See, Samsung’s latest is an 8 megapixel monster, packing Symbian to compete with the iPhone’s apps, GPS and Wi-Fi, plus up to 16GB of internal memory. The only thing it’s lacking is a touchscreen, but button fans won’t be too bothered by that.

We reckon it’s a winner, and will spend this lunchtime salivating over it. Not enough tech tidbits for you? Bounce back to the homepage for even more news.
