    good marketing and shiny things. It's improved over the old iPhone but still not very good overall.. jack of all trades, master of none etc.

    I would have thought that the biggest factor is that the iPhone 3G is available worldwide, whereas the original was available in only a few countries.

    and the fact that iPhone 3G has a lower price, and a more meture system.

    2G is still a fantastic phone, just the orginal price is unacceptable.

    you could have counted me in that, except the fact that the iphone is tethered to a carrier, that *must* charge a monthly fee turns me right off.

    apparently apple gets a cut of those monthly contracts. kind of disgusting.

    its just a freakin' phone.
