The new iPhone 3G will be available this coming Friday at 8 a.m. According to Apple’s website (US) it will be available from Apple’s retail stores, as well as from AT&T outlets; Apple’s partner in the iPhone era.

If you click on the Apple site’s country settings now, you can also see that the iPhone will be available on the same day in another 20 countries, including Canada, Australia, Italy, UK and Norway to name a few.

It only remains to be seen now how long the queues will be on Thursday evening, outside the Apple and AT&T stores and how fast the phone will be unlocked and reach other countries where it is not officially on sale.
