Hands-on with iPhone 3G, more unboxing photos

BoyGeniusReport (BGR) somehow managed to get their hands on the new iPhone 3G a little earlier than anyone else. They have uploaded several high-quality pictures to show the comparisons between the 1st generation iPhone and the iPhone 3G.

In addition, Paul Thurrott posted some iPhone 2.0 firmware upgrade screenshots to show the upgrade process and some of the new iTunes 7.7 and iPhone 2.0 features.

Wow, they really reduced the size of that power brick. Impressive! Hopefully Apple will spread that technology across the entire product line.

From those pics it looks like they've upgraded the official iPhone paperclip as well.

Here's the original: http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/officialiphonetool/2302578

The charger looks different, too. Hope those prongs still fold down, though.

Damn it. Looks like I'm going to have a buy a new dock as well, thereby adding to the dusty collection of disused docks sitting atop my desk.

according to this pic:

the total size of the 2.0 firmware hidden on the iPhone is roughly 200MB more (yes, it does have more features and an entire new app, the AppStore, but still...), leaving you only 7.08GB free, as opposed to the 7.27GB free running the latest 1.x software on my first gen iPhone:

BGR is running kinda slow...Gizmondo is much faster at the moment.

Oops, I meant "Gizmodo," not "Gizmondo."

based on paul t's screenshots, if you have exchange or mobileme you can't sync any contacts/calendars from ical/address book via itunes?

that sucks b/c my exchange stuff is all work related. i keep my personal calendar/contacts on my macbook. i like to keep work/personal separate... guess i'll find out once 2.0 is out

I'm guessing it's because Paul is running Vista. I'll bet that on OS X you'll still have the additional option to sync with iCal & Address Book.
