So the internet is flooded with a smorgasbord of iPhone 3g reviews as well as a slew of unboxing pictures and videos.  What about the original iPhone? The one that started the iPhone hype one year ago.

I’ve been using my iPhone for nearly 8 months now and I still love it like the day I unlocked it.

The only major upgrades that the iPhone 3G have are 3G capabilities and the A-GPS function.  I don’t really use 3G that much and I know my way around Kuala Lumpur, so the GPS won’t really make much use for me.  Furthermore, the street price of the iPhone 3G is about RM4,200.  I’d rather buy an iMac with that kind of moolah.

My iPhone has been serving me well for the past few months and it still garners a few stares when I whip it out of my pocket and the cool App Store as well as the iPhone 2.0 firmware is already ported to the iPhone.  I don’t really see a “must buy” feature in the new iPhone.  Now all I have to do is to wait for the iPhone Dev Team to do their magic.

Question of the day:

Are you ditching your original iPhone for the iPhone 3G?

P.S. While Jibone is happily downloading applications from AppStore for his iPod Touch, I could only watch in awe.  My iPod Touch has been “kidnapped” by my mum and she is loving the games I installed previously.  Unlike Jibone, I jailbroke my iPod Touch the moment I got it and installed tons of games into it from Installer.app.

I am very tempted to update the firmware to 2.0 but then I might be disowned by my mum.  I am not going to take the risk!
