iPhone 3G
The iPhone 3G is the original Apple iPhone and has since been superceeded by the iPhone 3GS. The 3G model is now only available in black and comes with a smaller 8GB flash drive. However, there are benefits; the iPhone 3G can be purchased for considerably less than a 3GS and can be purchased reconditioned, refurbished and second-hand through online outlets like Amazon UK, Amazon US, Ebay UK and Ebay US (click on the links to be taken to the iphone pages of these websites).
