It's made to hold in your hand, which is curved. It's not a laptop
Yup. Thread over.
Do you seriously mash the buttons or something? I mean.. a light tap on the keyboard does it for me and it doesn't move around to the point it's unusable ..
I use my iPhone 3G on a table like you all the time. It's the fastest way to type.
Just tap lighter and it won't roll around.
The curved back makes the phone much more comfortable in the hand, which is where it's designed to be used...
And what's with this sudden trend of SHOUTING in thread titles? it's getting annoying

Uhh no. Jonathan Ives is considered to be at the pinnacle of Industrial design. The overall idea was to make it look thiner, even though it is fatter. I think they pulled it off great. When I look at my wife's 1 gen one, it looks fat and unruly.
Now apple manufacturing in China sucks on ice, which is a shame because with such nicely designed products, it drags them down into the mud.
You really want to pay twice as much? xD
Jk.
But yeah, if you really hate the rocking that much, get a sander, and sand the back flat.
Otherwise, don't complain and use it in your hands. Even the old iPhone rocked back and forth slightly.
Actually better yet. There are a lot of full body cases that give the back a more flat profile. Agent 18 and such.
An actual answer! That's what I've done...gotten a case so it lays flat. It also prevents it from flying apart when I drop/throw/kick it. So far.
are you telling me you don't answer your phone like this?
its the easiest way to call people...
hahaha...ya this is a ridiculous rant. Its made for your hand....
I asked this question before I bought the 3G. I often will use my iPhone with one hand at my desk or while I'm eating with it laying flat. Was (correctly) told that the back is not curved but tapered on towards the ends so it's not a problem. Obviously the OP doesn't have a 3G or he/she would KNOW it DOES work setting on a flat surface (at least mine does).
As for as the OP thread title question just go to any Apple or AT&T store and see how (not) easy it is to buy one almost a month later with the high demand.

My iPhone doesnt stay attached to my ear when I let go of it. How lame is that? I mean its a phone for fecks sake you're supposed to use your ears right? It should come with some kind of head strap or something. I'm taking mine back!
I do. And it's not like it flips over when you tap on the side of the screen. It BARELY moves.
Solution: Take the SIM card out of your iPhone 3G and insert it into your iPhone 2G.
