Smile Purchasing next month

I am purchasing a new 3g iPhone next month and I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of the 3g iPhone and the older model. Is there a site that can provide that side-by-side comparison? I tried to find one with no luck.

What kind of a comparison do you want? Just physical differences? The new 3G version is twice to three times as fast as the original, but it uses twice as much battery. You have to decide whether the download speeds are worth the difference in battery life.

It really isn't that bad.
Its all about what you use apparently. I personally wont be using gps (most of the time), bluetooth, wifi (only when i am at home), and from what i've heard battery life is better than v1 with these things disabled.
its time...to prioritize!

People that use them with the standard apps running (GPS, Wifi), are having to plug it in by early afternoon in many cases. I typically use my first gen 2.5 days before it has to be plugged in to charge.

serious, 2 and a half days, I'm lucky if I make it to 1 on a good day, but I'm always checking mail or watching movies@work. Is that 2.5 days with talk time???
