Now that the WWDC08 keynote has come and gone, we've learned very little that we didn't already know. The iPhone 3G will be here on July 11, and will retail for $199 for an 8GB phone, $299 for a 16GB phone, available in white or black. OS X 10.6 will, as expected, be code-named "Snow Leopard," additional details to follow for sure. The App Store will feature some amazing new software, and Apple's new MobileMe is mere weeks away. Watch the "read more" link on this story for continued updates from around the web. If you'd like to read the play-by-play on the WWDC announcement, see Macrumors Live. UPDATED within.

You can't ask for the world price and quote the US pricing information.
According to all the live blogs they announced the maximum price worldwide is $199 (for the 8GB I am guessing).
I have no doubt that Apple will have carrier exclusive contracts in the 70 worldwide markets and that the phone will be locked and require a service plan.
Your question was answered accurately. Unless of course macrumors wrongly printed that info.
""The price is a maximum of $199 all around the world -- we're really, really excited about the new iPhone 3G. And as you might expect, we have a new ad! I'd love to show it to you." Lights are down... spy theme."
