the only differnce is that the 3g is faster and its back is full plastic.
they wont sell the old ones anymore and they will have the new ones for the cheap price.
The reason they do this is because 56% of people said the reason they dont have an iphone was becaues of the price.
So there making it lower in order to sell more.
There is no differnce though, you will be able to get all the 3g features on your older iphone with the update.
The major differences is the price, the built in GPS, the speed, The apps, and the Microsoft Exchange feature. The price will be cut all because people said they didn’t have an iPohne because of the price, so Apple wants everyone to have one and be able to afford it. The GPS will be a cool feature, which is like a plug-in for Maps. You will now be able to drive to places and knowing exactly where you’re at. The speed will change about 2.8 times faster than the older iPhone because of the change from EDGE to 3G. 3G is a much faster network. The new iPhone 3G will come already with an app store where you can buy or get for free, depending on the developer, different types of apps like games, utilities, etc. They are quite different from the old web-based apps, which don’t take full advantage of the app features. Microsoft exchange is there so you can sync calendar, contacts, and email from a PC. The original iPhone will have the App Store as a free upgrade only. If your looking for faster internet in your pocket and built in GPS get the iPhone 3G, otherwise you’re good with the original iPhone. Sorry I wrote a lot.
The 3g Iphone has everything the first-gen Iphone has plus more. Like the apple website says, it’s twice as fast, half the price. The network on the 3g Iphone has been updated to allow blazing fast downloads (2.4 times faster than the first Iphone). Another big addition to the new Iphone is GPS, which will allow you to always know where you are. Apple is also pushing their new App Store which will allow users to download useful applications for their new phones. Plus they added Microsoft Exchange which makes managing your email, calendar, and contacs a whole lot easier.
iPhone 3G has the 3G service versus EDGE. Makes the new iPhone much faster over 3G cellular networks.
And the plastic backing. Scratch-resistant.
And that’s about it. You will get everything else with the 2.0 update, including GPS.
Altho the upfront cost is cheaper the att contract is more expensive at $70 rather than $60 which allows them to recover the initial cut in price over the contract term.
However Truth be told, the iPhone 3G is a better phone, at least judging from the specs. The added GPS chip and much faster Internet connectivity are worth the extra 40 bucks over two years.
The 3G has all of the features of the original iphone, plus two others
1) Web browsing is 2.2x faster
2) There is an internal GPS
Everything else, including Microsoft Exchange, the app store, updated phone contacts, and all other changes are available to all iphone and ipod touch users with the 2.0 software.
The 3G iPhone phone service, however, is 10 more dollars a month than current customers.
