Looks like the guys at iFixit already got their iPhone and have taken it completely apart.. According to iFixit some of the chips are not identifiable so TechOnline will be decapping the chips we can't identify tomorrow, after the US release. They soak the chip in an acid bath to eat away the ceramic coating, then use x-rays and other fancy equipment to examine it.

Dave I am in the same boat you are. I want to take advantage of my corporate discount which is 20 percent off monthly plans with At and T and am currently a T-Mobile customer. Were you able to take advantage of your corporate discount? Do you have any suggestion on how to go about this?

Notice that the battery is no longer soldered on! Is there a marketing opportunity for someone to come out with a custom back with a battery door? That would be the third-party hardware mod of the year!

Actually the specs show it is thicker, the iPhone is .46 inches and the iPhone 3G is .48 inches. The last time I checked that means the iPhone 3G is .02 inches thicker not thinner.

iPhans, jez. lol
