so, just to clear a few things up, the 3g is completely revamped in about every way.  It's being released 22 countries, it's costing 199 with a 2 year contract, about as much as a blackberry, and whoever said you pay for internet is a dumbass.  You pay on every phone, except the iphone connects to wifi if it's available, which is completely free; you can do it on the touch.  The 3g going to have 3rd party apps, gaming capabilities, and so it's going to be one of the best deals out there. And if anyone is confused (i was), 3G doesn't mean 3Gb, it'll be 16 or 32gb, 3G is the model.
