    I'm a little confused about something, wondering if someone here can explain it to me. I have an iPhone now, and I understand we'll get the Firmware 2.0. But does that include 3G capability, or do we have to buy a whole new phone for that? Thanks!

    STILL no cut/copy/paste nor synched ToDos/NotesStickiesMemos? Sigh.

    goldni: 3G is a hardware thing, so it's part of the new iPhone 3G and not the original model.

  5. GoldnI says:

    Damn. Ok, thank you.

    The GPS features require different hardware, sorry
