Which iphone looks the best?
The old 2g, with the silver and black back?
The 3g all black.
Or all white.
OR the new 3gs with black and white backs with silver lettering?

I think I like the 3gs ones the best?
How bout you guys?
 
The original iPhone, there's no such thing as 2G


While it techinally was never called the 2G iphone. Technically it could be called that as it employed EDGE ATT's 2.5G data technology.

Still not 2G, just 2.5G :cool::eek:

Ha. Such a douche. 2.5G is 2G. iPhone software version 3.0.1 is still version 3. Its shorter to say 2G.

2 != 2.5

Precisely.

Apple originally marketed it as iPhone.

Wow talk about iDork! :eek:
NO one cares about technical lagistics of it but you. Most people know it as 2G.

FFS would you guys just let it go already?

OP: Edit the thread and make it a poll.
 
While I think the silver lettering looks better than the gray lettering, the first-gen iPhone is the best looking. If you've ever seen one in person, they're far, far better in every way.
 
I love the aluminum original iPhone. And I think it would have matched the current MacBooks much better.

I hope the next gen iPhone is aluminum again. They should make a black aluminum with white bottom and a white aluminum with black bottom.
 
I like my 3GS black, and aesthetically, I like its looks best.

That said, the original iPhone was a very close second, but the black plastic kinda cheapens the look.
 
the original all black iphone looked the best. i didn't like the contrasting black bottom much, but i can't stand the plastic back of my 3GS. much preferred the original for build quality, durability, and shape. and the black keys over the gaudy chrome ones.

Wow. I was surprised by those results. Good poll.

I hope they come out with a dark silver or titanium finish. Then again there are some many 3rd party solutions to tweak the iPhone's appearance.
