    I'm pretty happy with my "classic" iPhone and the 2.0 firmware update. The new 3G looks to me like another case study for the benefits of "trailing edge" technology.

    Yeah, I like the 2.0 firmware too. The App Store performs surprisingly well over Edge. I was able to install Urban Spoon and a few updates without it failing.

    Rich wants to tether the 3G to his laptop, and I agree that's a huge plus for the new one. Alas, not allowed. I expect a jailbreak will solve that pretty soon. That might be the killer feature that pushes me, but hey, if last year is the model, we can expect a price drop in a couple months :)

    It is possible to distribute a VPN certificate without iTunes (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Enterprise_...).

    However, there are still issues with the way the VPN works.

    Great pro tip, thanks. For us, there's still the small matter of the group password, but this is good to know. I'll update the post.

    Much appreciated.

    Has a new version of the iPhone been released? You would have thought the press would have picked up on that!

    Heh, I wouldn't know, since I already have a perfectly good one :) If one were released, it would probably be US only, which might be why you missed it.

    Just riffing here, but how great would it be to have an LOLcats dictionary for iPhone? It could suggest "evar" when I type "ever". That way, we wouldn't have this problem.

    I'm more than happy with my classic 2G iPhone, 3G would be fine, but I'm never too far from a WiFi and if I am I can live with 2G speed.
    I'm just excited about the 2.0 software and as soon as I can get VPN and use my iPhone inside the Oracle firewall I'll be a very, very happy bunny.

    Personally, I don't think VPN will be all that useful to me. I can get email and web sites using SSL VPN. I guess it opens up iPhone apps, like a Connect Rolodex.

    Tethering the 3G iPhone to my laptop is a killer feature. Rich is right; this would be creamy good awesomesauce. Alas, no dice so far, waiting on an unlocked version.

    I do love my Iphone 3G. I would also love to have that VPN feature, but even if it doesn't. I still think this is the best phone for me..
