It will not work on the V1 because the V1 does not have a 3G chip.Yes, it most likely would have been possible to make it work with Edge, but how long should Apple be expected to continue to support obsolete devices? The longer they do, the less new phones they will sell. It doesn't make sense from the business perspective. These aren't cars we're talking about, why would you even want the same cell phone for 3+ years? Things move fast in the cell phone world. All companies will stop supporting old devices sooner or later. 3G wasn't up and running when the V1 was released. If everything worked on the V1, there wouldn't be much reason to upgrade.
