yes the 3G will be able to use the firmware 3.0 with no problems. the 2G iphone can run firmware 3.0, however, it wont be able to utilize the picture and video msging feature.
When will it be released? This summer. Wait for the WWDC when Mr. Jobs gives us concrete dates

In order to get true turn by turn navigation with voice prompts you will need to buy the TomTom GPS app.

it may not be 100X better than the 3G, however, it will be SIGNIFICANTLY better than the 2G with firmware 3.0.
I'm upgrading July 25th when I can sign a new contract.

Who knows, maybe the navigation app requires the compass in the 3GS to properly orient itself. I think its also unknown if data is required or not.

Any idea if the iPhone 3G will be able to do just regular picture MMS? Also does anyone know if the $15 messaging plan on Rogers (2500 sent msgs) include MMS?

I think its also unknown if data is required or not. | at WWDC, it's been announced that the maps have to be provided by third party, and most likely this is predownloaded.. so assume, no data is needed except for the A part in A-GPS... to assist in getting the location faster...
the compass is actually a digital magnetosensor.. orsomething like that...

quick question guys, when we upgrade to 3.0 on our 3g, is there a way to back everything up (even installous downloaded games and other "paid" apps) before we upgrade and re jailbreak? Or do we lose everything and have to do it all over again?
