new iPhone 3G

Looks pretty darn sweet - check it out here

Price is great at $199 US for 8GB - hopefully we don't get ripped off in Australia considering the exchange rate is $0.95US.

Only things missing for me is:
- Terminal Services (or Remote Desktop) so I can remotely access Windows Server 2003

I can live without MMS (email is much better and cheaper)!

Marketing genius: "Twice as fast. Half the price" (although the new ad is shit)

BUT:

First off, the data plan for 3G is $10 more than the old plan. Second, in-store activation is required, "which takes 10-12 minutes"...with the old version of the iPhone, you could activate through iTunes and it took 2 minutes. (That means no online ordering of phones either.) Third, Apple and AT&T may be working on a purchase penalty for those who don't activate their phones within 30 days...so no more buying a phone to use on another network. Four: no prepaid plans. Yay?
