I bought an iPhone last July when they first appeared (at that crazy $699 list price) and truly love the device. But does it really take a news article to say "plug the old one in and then the new one"?  How to Replace an iPhone 2G With an iPhone 3G [ZDNet.com]. And why are people lining up again for the 3G iPhone a week before it is released?  Wonderful improvements, but there are no supply issues and it’s hardly like this is another epoch-shaping technology event.  As CNet says, "The Waiting is Getting Old."  I say "Get a Life!"
