Customers have been informed that their pre-ordered iPhone 3G S devices from Apple have begun shipping.
According to AppleInsider forum member DiscoNomad, “My 32GB black iPhone that I ordered the second I could on the Apple iPhone store has officially shipped. I found out this morning via an email which included a tracking number.”
The new iPhones are being shipped out of Shenzhen, China. Apple has promised delivery by June 19th.
Apple has already placed the 3.0 firmware online for the new iPhone 3G S device.
You can download the new firmware from here. However, please note that this will not work with your 2G or 3G handset. This firmware is for the unreleased iPhone 3G S.
The 3.0 firmware is expected to go live for all other devices starting on June 17th.
AT&T will make multimedia messaging (MMS) available at no extra cost to customers with a text messaging bundle, according to the latest FAQ.
AT&T also reiterates that it will offer tethering capability for iPhone 3G S and iPhone 3G which is expected later in the summer.
