Well it has been confirmed, but to be honest I am totally underwhelmed by the specifications. OS 3.0 looks to give much more to current users imo. [thumbdown]

Specs:

7.2Mbps HSDPA
3MP Camera - No freaking flash!
Video Recording up to 30fps- Jailbreak anyone?
Built-in compass
Nike + Support
New battery that offers 5 hours of 3G talk time and 9 hours of WiFi internet use
New voice control interface that lets you do everything from make calls to control iTunes
Fingerprint resistive coating
16gb and 32gb versions

New contract pricing as follows:

$199 - 16gb
$299 - 32gb

Upgrades / mid term contract:

$299 - 3G
$399 - 3GS 16gb
$499 - 3GS 32gb

Got some information for UK users:

O2 are confirmed as the sole contractors for the new iPhone. They will support tethering and MMS from 19th June, for a premium.

Tethering Bolt On - £14.98 for 3gb and £29.36 for 10GB - Jailbreak anyone?
Upgrades - Up to £184.98 for 16gb and £274.23 for 32gb depending on contract.
Tariff prices are much cheaper - £29.38 and £34.26 on 18 months, so no 2 year deals.
