The iPhone 3G S has been out in several countries since last month, and now, Italians can also enjoy this much improved version of the iPhone courtesy of 3 Italy. They’ve officially launched the iPhone 3G S in Italy. The 16GB iPhone 3G S is retailing for a reasonable price €99 ($140) while the 32GB variant is selling for €199 ($280) on-contract. Outright purchase price for the 16GB and 32GB iPhone 3G S phones is pegged at €599 and €699 respectively. Likewise, they’re also available on pre-pay plans, and the old iPhone 3G is still in their line-up and can be had for free on certain plans for new contract agreements.

However, before you go out and buy yourself an iPhone 3G S, you should take into consideration the numerous complaints regarding its poor battery life. On the good part, though, jailbreaking and unlocking it shouldn’t be much of a problem now since redsn0w, purplera1n and ultrasn0w are all available for use on your iPhone 3G S already.
