Of course the most noticeable change is the addition of 3G technology, but the new iPhone also unveils a whole new world of applications and utilities.
You can now access many new technologies and third party tools. Let’s have a look at that ‘Extra’ which the Apple 3G iPhone offers its customers.

Some of those features are not unique to the 3G, some of those are coming via the software upgrade and will be available for the 1st iPhone… FYI
OK, this was OBVIOUSLY written based on specs and not on an actual review. Battery life on the G3 is abysmal. If you keep the G3 on, you will be lucky to have your phone last the day. You will need to keep a charger at home, a charger in your car and a charger at work.
But that said, I LOVE the phone and highly recommend it.
