First impression og 3G iPhone

USA Today’s tech journalist Ed Baig (one of three journalists Steve Jobs picked by hand for the first time Apple iPhone 3G) and the circular-Good Guy and I have a Usually meetings around dates iPhone. Last year, I saw an event shortly after he received the first iPhone. He was kind enough to me spend 10 minutes with him. This year I am still in him, and that our own 3G services still happen, I shook him mainly on the head, until the new phone fell from his pocket.

Okay, that’s an exaggeration. Baig did hand it over after some gently nudging.

Head-on, the iPhone 3G is exactly the same as the old iPhone. I realized, which are more integrated headphone socket and chromium-captain was still a little for the face seems more (if both phones are the same height and width) The great (and for some, I think that this is really great) Is the difference. This makes it much more verneigte black plastic, the phone is a little thicker than the iPhone 1.0 and should significantly improve the quality, feels remarkably different from the first iPhone ’s polished aluminum.

The room Ed and I were in was busy and warm, and I noticed that my slightly sweaty palms made the phone back feel sort of sweaty too. It also made it sit more securely in my hand. Still, with the two phones side-by-side, I noticed that the aluminum back on the first iPhone still felt silky smooth in my other hand.

A minor point, I’m sure. On the other hand, the iPhone’s cherished sexiness may have taken a bit of a hit. This iPhone feels a bit more like other phones you might hold and, with that slightly sticky feel on sweaty hands, reminds you that you’re just some guy holding a new Apple iPhone 3G in an over-crowded room.

iPhone 3G Photos Are Fake, Fake, FAKE

Some frogsters* with no track record are claiming that this piece of scratched plastic—which in the photo looks like a cheapo LG cellphone clone wannabe—is the new iPhone 3G. Although it matches the rumored all-black and specs, we don't believe it's the real thing. The reason: these photos have been up since 12:04AM Central European Time and it's now 4:04PM. That's 16 hours up with no Cease and Desist order—and Apple Europe is as aggressive with leaks as Cupertino. In any case, check its back and tell us what you think after the jump.



Whatever it is, the back looks as bad as the front (including the deformed Apple logo), at least in these photos. We have a hard time imagining that anything like this could come out of Monssieur Jonathan Ive's brain. Or better said, we have a hard time envisioning us buying what looks like a soulless piece of machinery, even while the true soul of the iPhone is its operating system.

We will see if we get a cease and desist email—now that Cupertino is waking up—but for now, remember our first rule of rumors: never, ever trust them. [iPhon—Thanks Jean Paul]

* Yes, frogsters. You see, this is completely unrelated to the fake iPhone, but I'm in Madrid, Spain, and today is the 200th Anniversary of the uprising against the French occupational forces in Madrid, which started the revolution that kicked Napoleonic troops out of the country. So today it's frogsters, or the Spanish equivalent, gabachos. (And for the record, I love France.)
