Well i got my iPhone 3G and was it worth the wait? Probably not.

Problems

• In my mind, the original iPhone is of a better build quality - the plastic back and metal switches on the 3G feel a bit (dare i say it) cheap.
• The screen doesn't seem as bright.
• The phone is less rounded and slightly wider than it's predecessor so it doesn't sit as nicely in your hand :/

I'm hoping in the long run the faster data, GPS and further upgrades will change my opinion on the device but at the moment i'm feeling rather underwhelmed.

Should you get an iPhone 3G? If you have an original i wouldn't bother unless 3G/GPS is kind of a big deal for you.

EDIT: It's not all doom and gloom. I've been playing with MobileMe and i've found it pretty immense so far.

EDIT 2: iPhone 3G switches falling off

In unlocking my iPhone i found the following links helpful:

• How To Unlock an iPhone
• Ace instructions at ModMyiPhone

Sorry, i dont mean to be adding to the echo chamber but the new iPhone update (1.1.1) effectively bricks unlocked iPhones. Obviously Apple have some sort of contractual obligation to AT&T to prevent humans from using their phones on other carriers but this could (and is) turning into a PR quagmire for APPL.

All aboard the failboat.

EDIT: Disregard this post, i have seen an iPhone and it is good.

Question: Am i going to buy an iPhone?
Answer: No! (well, not in its current incarnation)

I go through a lot of cell phones as most dont survive the wear and tear i subject them to (although my k800i is doing rather well, so far). I dont think it would be very prudent to drop some serious cash on an iPhone only to drop it in a club.

Also? It only has a 2.0 megapixel camera and im not entirely convinced by that touch screen keyboard.
