What will be the biggest difference between the one unveiled today and the 3G?
And how much is the 3G expected to cost?

Ouch. I just looked at AT&T's required plan rates and terms.
Minimum of 2 or 4 years?
That's a lot of money to AT&T.
I think this will be Apple's weakness. They lowered the price of the phone now, and yes, the browsing speed is better than some current rivals, but their requirement that you enslave yourself to AT&T is a problem for some (me).
Still would prefer a real keyboard, too.

I agree that will be the major sticking point. However I believe the biggest deciding factor in people who want but didnt buy the iphone has to be the price. I think we can all agree that apple will gain a lot more market share when this new phone will be released. 6 million iphones sold at $400, now comes a better one at half the price...that has to be significant.
Some people will never buy them, they would rather stick to using their Jitterbugs haha.

Someones' liking their blackberries - my RIMM calls gained $1100 in 20 mins; happened so fast I almost missed it.

awesome, i didn't mean to imply that blackberries werent great too. Just that, as gene munster says, the iphone demand could triple or quadruple mainly bc of the lower price and 3g. go apple.
