Why I'm NOT getting the iPhone 3G! (and why I'm kicking myself ...)

Check these links out to see the iPhone 3G Cracks (Hairline, Stress Cracks at the plastic backside) developing as early as 7 days after it was released in July 11.

I sold my 1st Gen iPhone before the launch to take advantage of the resale value, but when these cracks came out... I was like "I shouldn't have sold my iPhone!!!"

Anyway, if you ask me, if you really need 3G and a GPS go for the Black 3G as the cracks are "hidden", but its more prone to smudges from regular use.

If you dont need the battery drain of a 3G and GPS Chip, I'd find myself a 1st Gen iPhone instead... same specs and a lot cheaper... then buy the new iPhone coming next year...(probably in June 2009)
