How satisfied are you with the new Iphone 3g?

It's pretty hot 8/10, and I'm buying one because I can finally own an iPhone without worrying about it bricking or $20,000 bills.
The 3G iPhone itself is an 8/10. The AT&T pricing is 1/10 - I wish I could blend that...
I plan on sticking with my first-gen. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a 16GB model on the cheap soon (I have a 4GB.)

Are you aware that the bills with the 3G iPhone will actually be higher than with the first-gen? If cost is a major factor for you, you should evaluate getting a used first-gen.

I'm in Canada. Before now we had to risk getting caught using an iPhone on Rogers' unlimited data plan and getting a HUGE bill. Some people got bills for up to $20,000! We also had the constant worry that our phones could be bricked at any time.
As long as my 1G works, it will do all I need. There is no real problem with the 3G- I do not mind the back really- but there is not enough in it either to prompt an upgrade.
If I had NO iPhone, I would get it. When it gets 32G and a better camera, I will consider upgrading (assuming that a simple Vid recorder is software).

The only thing I'm really disappointed in is the release date.....July 11, WTF!? This will be my first iPhone and I actually like the look of this one better than the 1st gen. I also wish they would have added MMS but that may come in the app store hopefully.
It's just that frikin release date!

I wasn't expecting a front-facing camera, 32GB version or any of the other things that people were expecting.
I was only expecting 3G and GPS.
So, 10/10 for me.

8/10 for just a few reason:
1) Lack of 32GB memory option (Apple could definitely do this, and people would have still bough it even at $400 or $500).
2) Lack of Copy/Paste, A2DP, tethering, Flash, MMS, etc, etc... I just lump all this stuff together because none of them are deal-breakers but still detract sometimes.

The only thing that I wish that the new iPhone 3G had is MMS. I still don't get why Apple hasn't built this into the software. 
Definitely bummed by the lack of 32GB... I thought they would make one for sure. I'd pay for it.
I have to disagree. I'm extremly excited about the app store but I'll have that on my old iphone.
As far as waiting a freakin year just to add a 3g chip and gps? That seems like 1 engineer could whip up in a weekend. Apple must have hundreds working on the iphone between software and hardware, seems kinda dumb to have 999 on software and the lonely 1 working on hardware
Way to not stay ahead of the competition on that front.
