answer:I’ve had the current iPhone since day one (June 29th) It’s busted to hell, and I can’t wait to get rid of it. • 3G is worth it alone • New form factor + black and white • Longer battery life • GPS • Louder external speaker is worth it alone as well. • Price. For the original $600 I payed, you could buy 2 16GB iPhones for the same price. Could name a few more, but those are pretty much the basics.
