I decided to go with direct fulfillment in order to get my grubby hands on one of the new iPhones. The past Monday I finally got the call from my local AT&T store. My iPhone 3G had arrived!

First, it does look a bit sleeker than the old iPhone but there’s not really a big enough difference in appearance to rave about. Second, 3G is GREAT. Many of the applications can use your current location to make doing things more efficient – such as listing movie theaters near your location. There’s a really big difference in how fast you can use those applications from EDGE to 3G.

The GPS is indeed very cool although I’ve only played with it and have had no real reason to use it yet.

All in all, I’m happy with the upgrade.  There are a few features such as video chat that I wish they would have included. I was also rather disappointed there is still no copy and paste.  I mean c’mon Apple…
