don't try to use the 3G version. you will NOT get GPS or 3G capability.

i don't know the exact differences, but i imagine it's just got slightly different driver software for the GPS and 3G chip.

By installing 2.1 you will get all the new software enhncemnts, bug fixes etc. You will not get 3g and gps. These are hardware enhancments of the new 3g phone.

I think he means to make sure when/if you decide to update your 1st gen phone, then make sure you use the 2.1 update for the 1st gen iphone, not the 2.1 that is used to update the 3g iphone. There are seperate 2.1 firmwares for the phones... And they won't work on the wrong phones anyway.

And yes, it's worth updating your 1st gen phone. Why people elect NOT to, I'll never understand. Good luck.

OJ my fav black person LOL,, WHATS UP MY *****

the only reason i haven't update yet, is cause i haven't found a app that downloads & plays video on 2.x FW.. i use "MYMEDIA" daily on FW1.1.3.. i need a app that can download from google video before i can update.. its a must have app for me.
