Here are some of the new features of the new iPhone 3G:- Thinner.
- Cheaper. An 8G iPhone 3G will sell for... $199. $299 for the 16GB. Right now, it's actually cheaper than the iPod Touch?!
- Wireless access to the new iPhone "App Store" full of applications and games specifically made to take advantage of the new iPhone's features. You can also access the App Store via iTunes.
- Plastic back cover.
- Solid metal buttons.
- Improved "Accelerometer" that rotates the screen content when you rotate the orientation of your iPhone.
- Multitouch display.
- Better camera.
- Normal headphone jack (you no longer need special headphones).
- Dramatically improved audio.
- Faster. The iPhone 3G is 2.8X faster than the old iPhone on AT&T's slow American EDGE network.
- Advanced GPS support. iPhone 3G uses signals from GPS satellites, Wi-Fi hot spots, and cellular towers to quickly get the most accurate location.
- Longer battery life. 300 hours of standby, 2G talk-time now has 10 hours (as opposed to 5), 5 hours of 3G talk-time (most phones only have 3 hour 3G talk time), 5 to 6 hours of high-speed browsing, 7 hours of video, 24 hours of audio.
- Enterprise email support.
- More colors. The new 3GF iPhone also comes in white.

I guess the videochat stays in my dreams for now, but the price drop, GPS, app store and beefed up Exchange capabilities are making it hard for me to not look at my Blackjack with scorn and contempt.
the new one is cool but i was hoping for more features really and 3G to be faster... and i was hoping it would be available TODAY!!!
i've got about 3 people lined up already to buy mine so i can get the new one.

will i get one? Well since I don't pay for my company phone, I'm going to stick with the free phone.
Otherwise I'd have to pay for not only the phone but the service too. Unfortunately we're all Verizon here.
When I do have to pay my own bill I'm totally getting that....

I really want to get one of these. They are very innovative and by far, a leader in the phone industry.
I wonder if the price will be £100 in UK. It will be kind of cheap for a beautiful phone like this. I have just bought a used P990i not long ago for £70. I might feel a little bit regretted if iPhone 3G is on sale for £100.
