Whaaaaaaaa? What a load of stinking horse crap. I was wondering how to get mine to change. ugh.
what the hell!!! i just checked their website the iso4 update section and shows an iphone 3G with a background!!!
when i checked under compatibility it displays the 3G with a black background. i think before it did have the wallpaper.

Its been reported for a while now that no walpapers or multitasking on the 3G models.
Unless you JB.

Well, how else will Apple get you to upgrade? 😉
In all seriousness, that's a load of ****. Just jailbreak your 3G and use Winterboard to get the Home Screen wallpaper if you need it.
Jailbreak...cool
Jailbreaking is awesome, but the last time I did it, my iPhone started acting up! if jailbreakers can make your springboard background change why in the heck can't
?? this is so annoying!! can't they just make their customers happy?!?! Not everyone has $500 in hand, to go and buy the iPhone 4! Their products are great, but they should have made this package to where a picture could have been set for us 3G people!! Listen to the voice of the people! They have spoken!!
this is what my phone used to look like when it was jailbroken! I miss it, but am afraid to jb it again, cause I don't want it to break.

^ Agreed. You can never brick an iDevice from jailbreaking, a simple Restore will fix 99.9% of all jailbreak-related snafus 🙂
Enable Homescreen Wallpaper and Multitasking on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G on iOS 4.
