There is no multitasking or backgrounds for the 3G. Only folders. And it will make your phone extremely slow.
My cousin has the 3g and he downloaded IOS 4, the thing is, it didn't enable wallpaper nor multi-tasking. Just folders and zoom on the camera-and a few other things (I think). It's a bit slower than before apparently. What I say is that you should try it, and if you don't like it, just reset your iPhone. It's better to know than to wonder ''what if''-excuse me for using a generic quote.
He can't go back once he installs the newer firmware. Bad advice.My cousin has the 3g and he downloaded IOS 4, the thing is, it didn't enable wallpaper nor multi-tasking.

My wife updated to iOS4 on her 3G and it really is dog slow. She doesn't really have all that much on it either, she's a non-techie and even she complains.
Don't worry. It's happened to me a few times.
At least you tried to help him.You can downgrade iOS 4.0 and up on a iPhone 3G! You just have to put your iPhone in dfu mode and hold shift and restore on windows or hold command and restore on Mac and select the iPhone 3G 3.1.3 firmware and restore it and when it's complete it will give you an error, then use tiny umbrella to kick it out of recovery mode. Bam you're back on iOS 3.1.3, the best firmware for iPhone 3G.
Are you jailbroken with your blobs saved? I bet he isn't and doesn't have them saved. The average Joe can't downgrade.
The zoom feature on the camera was a welcome addition. But at times the phone sometimes feels slower that molasses when scrolling or trying kill apps. If you don't like it, you can always back out and go back to 3.
iphone 3g never required blobs for iOS 3.1.3 and under. Only for iOS 4.0 and up it did. Only iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 required blobs for any firmware to be downgraded unless it's still being signed by apple.
