Apple this week began posting information for iPhone users intending to update their device to the new iPhone 3G. A new support document explains how to replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G using the same carrier: "If you follow these steps to backup your original iPhone first, and then restore the backup to your iPhone 3G, your saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be present on your iPhone 3G," the company noted. The instructions indicate that iPhone users in the US will not need to transfer their SIM card (a new one will be provided with the iPhone 3G) and describes how to transfer settings, personal info, SMS messages, and other data to the new device using iTunes' backup iPhone feature.

Apple iPhone 3G Review

(Review) - We’ll get right to the chase. Apple’s iPhone 3G is very similar to the original iPhone. In fact, first-generation iPhones can be updated to use the iPhone 2.0 software, which will give a lot of the software capabilities of iPhone 3G to its predecessor. However, that doesn’t mean that iPhone 3G isn’t worth the upgrade. If you were holding out on the original iPhone in hopes of iPhone 3G, this is your chance to grab one, assuming can get past the strict requirements of activating the phone in AT&T or Apple Stores. That’s of course to prevent a lot of folks from unlocking their iPhones.

Almighty PwnageTool 2.0 arrives, down goes new 3G OS for iPhone

Still Lining Up for 3G iPhone

They're still lining up for Apple's iPhone. Bloomberg Boot Camp, a report on today's technology. The demand for the new 3G iPhone...doesn't seem to be letting up. Weeks after it went on sale....the line outside Apple's flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York stretched around the block...with the estimated waiting time for folks on line to purchase at about five hours. The 3G version of the iPhone is much improved over the original...in a number of areas. First in my book....is the improved sound quality of the phone itself. The 3G networks connections...when you aren't in WiFi range....is a big plus. And the new App store....opening up the iPhone to all kinds of new applications...gives it almost unlimited potential. For instance... Sega built one of the top selling apps for sale.

Infineon Chipset May Be Cause of IPhone 3G Issues

JagsLive sends along a CNet blog piece about a plausible theory to explain the iPhone 3G connection problems many users have experienced. Apple has not acknowledged any such problems. "Richard Windsor of Nomura published a research note... Tuesday singling out the iPhone 3G's chipset, made by Infineon, as the probable culprit for the reception problems we reported on Monday. The dropped calls, service interruptions, and abrupt network switches experienced by iPhone 3G users reminded Windsor of similar complaints five years ago, when 3G phones were first launched in Europe. 'We believe that these issues are typical of an immature chipset and radio protocol stack where we are almost certain that Infineon is the 3G supplier,' Windsor wrote. 'This is not surprising as the Infineon 3G chipset solution has never really been tested in the hands

Orange France sells 116,000 3G iPhones since launch

Orange France said it had sold 116,000 Apple iPhone 3G smartphones since it launched the product in the middle of July, compared to taking nearly five months to sell 100,000 units of the first version of the iPhone, writes Les Echos. The success of the new version is partly attributed to Orange's decision to offer it through retailers such as Fnac, Darty and Auchan. It only sold the first iPhone at Orange stores. According to Orange, half of its iPhone 3G users first had the original version. Orange is selling the 3G phone for EUR 149 compared to the first version's retail price of EUR 399.

The operator made concessions to some of its clients by partially reimbursing the price of iPhones bought as st

iPhone 3G Jailbroken

After unlocking and jailbreaking iPhone OS 2.0, the iPhone Dev Team has now liberated the new iPhone 3G, only five days after launch. This means a Pwnage tool that will allow you to install the unofficial applications that Apple doesn't want you to have in your iPhone—like video recording apps or game emulators—alongside with the App Store ones. The upcoming Pwnage will support the classic iPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPhone 3G. The video shows it works great:

Review: The iPhone 3G was Worth the Wait

Computerworld — As I write this, my new white 16GB iPhone 3G is in the process of syncing about 10GB of music from my iTunes library. This is my second sync. Although I was one of the lucky ones able to both buy and eventually activate an iPhone 3G on Friday, I at first opted to copy over the same paltry 2GB of music that was stored on my first-generation 4GB iPhone along with my e-mail accounts and a handful of applications from the App Store. Having waited close to four hours in line at a New York AT&T store, close to 20 minutes for the purchase process, and another four-plus hours attempting to activate my iPhone at home via iTunes, I simply couldn't wait for a full sync before putting my iPhone through its paces.
