Huh? 3G iPhone post for the sake of 3G iPhone posting?
Careful or we'll post Mossberg's first impressions.

I thought the 3G iPhone were black or white, not .. baze? Haha sorry, but acutally it looks thinner. Can't wait and still can't believe Apple decided to give it to Scandinavia first with all "the big countries"
Haha, using the MacBook Air measurement philosophy, it's thinner than a first-gen!
... using reality, of course, it's thicker...
flush headphone jack FTW. Now I don't have to carry around this stupid little extra plug for my E2's.
when the HELL did it become 'flush headphone jack' ?!?!
Its 3.5mm....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flush means even with the case so that you don't need and adapter to get your $200 headphones working on your iphone. I had to buy the adapter but it has a mic on it so it wasn't that bad of an investment.
@helloUser
From engadget's hands on, read the last part carefully:
The headphone jack is flush, as mentioned. It's still 3.5mm, so if you don't like the out of box phones (which won't stay in our ears), bring your own, no problem -- and no adapter needed!
Definitely easier on the pocket. I like it.
It almost looks like it wouldnt sit flat on a table, like it would roll over onto one side because of the curved back...
Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.

Still too much for my pocket :)

They'd Call it
'Outgadget'
lol ! im on a roll w/ 3 TODAY!!
The iPhone just got more feminine.
Please keep the iPhone news coming! I'm no Mac fan, but I have a hard on for the iPhone! Boing! If you haters don't like it, don't freakin read it!
wow...what a post
There is something to be said about metal vs. plastic. Part of the reason I got my MBP is because I held my friends macbook and thought it felt cheap. I have an iPhone Edge and have to say that I like the "coolness" of its metal. Call me old fashioned, but curvy and cheap feeling doesn't float my boat. Mind you the GPS would be nice...damn, I wished they made a pro version of this to satiate my metallic needs.
AGREED.
i hate the new back and the thicker back. Well, if it was aluminum, maybe that's be okay, but or else.... NAHHH i might as well skip out since i have a JB iPhone on TM
I don't think Apple should have made the back completely convex, as the thing will spin like a top on a table, and wear down the contact point from when it vibrates on a table, the center of the back should have been flat and should taper into a convex curve. Ah, fanboys, because of you I am on a downvoting spree lol.
Well this is just shameless now...
just found out iphone in uk will be free on £45 a month and above tarrifs and will be available on payandgo for possible £299.99
so what does this do to the price of the original? and what happened to all those refurbs that at&t had? i hope i can get a 1.0 16gb for a steal of a price. and just use it for apps and mp3 player.
they can't sell those no more.
i dont think the back will feel cheap at all due to the curve, i figure it would give it much more support and a stiffness. when i saw the first spy shots of the black glossy phone, i kind of hoped it was real, which it was, and i like it
that plastic looks like a scratch magnet! better get a case to protect it
CONS
1. FINGER PRINTS ON BOTH SIDES
2. SCRATCHES ON ALL THE PLASTIC
3. EASIER TO BREAK
1st gen FTW.
Ignore these goof balls Engadget. Keep up the great work, and as well... keep those Iphone stories coming along too. :)
looks like the bottom of that curve is going to get scratched to hell.
iOverload!
It looks like a Palm centro with that white rounded plastic.
I liked the older flat aluminum much more.
seriously for all of you complaining about apple posts, don't click them.., just complaining to complain
anyways, metal interferes with radio signals, plastic back = better reception
