As a Symbian User I would say that the review has helped me a lot in deciding to buy this must-have gadget when it gets released in India on 22nd August. I can just say for now it has some pretty good features but for me it still needs a lot of firmware for me to upgrade to it from my Nokia 5700 XM. Just supreme audio quality won't do. But I hope another upgrade (software or hardware) would help. Till then Its S60 for me.

"a bit of a downer that you still can't turn predictive typing off"
you can turn predictive text off: smash the piece if crap iphone onto the floor and burn it...predictive text is turned off in the process, earler tests of blending the iphone have resulted in predictive text being turned off but we can't confirm this

im not sure if a lot of people know that this new 3g iphone back cover is made out of cheap material, because there are a lot of complains from many iphone 3g owners (especially the white one) there are many hair-line cracks forming all over the back and many users claim that they have never dropped their phone or put any pressure on it
heres some proof...

In a few words, if you already have an iPhone 1G it's difficult to decide whether to buy the new iPhone 3G or not. If you have a lot of money to throw, or you are a mobile internet addicted or you like to travel a lot in foreign places, here we go. But if it's not your case, better keep your first generation iPhone because the free firmware update gives you all the other features of the new iPhone.
If you don't have any iPhone and you are a real fan of mobile devices, this one it's a must-have-stuff. I've had plenty of phones, mostly smartphones, but this is completely different, it's standing alone above all the rest. It's not only about user interface and touchscreen; the best thing about iPhone is the possibility to fix almost all of the so-much-debated missing features by firmware updates. And it's the simple design, the solid sensation that it gives you when you keep it in your hand.
Future firmware updates can solve all the following problems: the Java and Flash support; the copy-paste thing; the MMS thing; the bluetooth file sharing and A2DP thing; the voice command thing; the FM radio support; and more. Only the camera cannot be upgraded that way (and the missing of the memory card slot), but who cares about that? A Nokia Nseries-like camera would make this device look weird, and would increase it's thickness and weight. And what for? Standalone cameras will always be better than phone cameras.
It has A-GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, TV-Out, accelerometer and countless applications that can increase the number of things it can do. For 3 to 5 US dollars you can borrow the latest movies, DvD-like quality or even High Definition, and watch them on your device or connect it to your LCD tv or plasma TV. For 10 US Dollars you can buy a movie.
Conclusion: iPhone 3G is among the best smarty and it can still be easily improved by firmware and software. It may cannot do what most cheap phones can do, but it also can do what no other phone can do. I strongly recommend it for mobile freaks! :)

I think the first version of the iPhone should be referred to as iPhone 1.0 instead of 1G which implies a 1G connection.

Bluetooth stack doesn't support the use of Apple's own bluetooth keyboard.

Every one has it's own preferences - Stero Bluetooth? Yeah nice, never used it though. Used to love SE before, but find the UI really boring. Upgraded to P990, then HTC and found their tochscreens far too slow to work with.
The App store is awesome. I am ditching my Notebook when travelling, as almost anything can be done now on a small form factor device.
