iPhone OS 3.0 features for the original iPhone

Jason L

What are the features from the iPhone OS 3.0 that will work on the original iPhone. Since I can not find a list of the features iPhone OS 3.0 for the original iPhone.

I was just wondering if there was a list of features that from the iPhone 3.0 that will work on the Original iPhone? Since on the website I only see features listed for the iPhone 3G and the new iphone 3Gs and there is nothing listed for the original ipHone. I know some of the stuff like the landscape keyboard, for notes, mail, and SMS, syncing notes will work.

I still have my original iPhone and I have not had any problems with it yet and I have the 450 minutes for 39.99 plan with the $20 that includes the 200 text messages. I'm kind of think about upgrading my iPhone to a either a 3G or 3Gs iphone but I notice the plans for the 450 minutes is the same for 39.99, but the data part went up to 30.00 then just for 200 text messages you have pay 5.00

If you read the fine print at the bottom, MMS won't be supported in the original iPhone (video MMS not supported in the iPhone 3G).

That link compare the 3G S with the 3G, not the original iPhone with 3.0 firmware.

From what I've read in other folks' replies here, the only unsupported features are MMS and A2DP. All other features should work fine.

All the other ANNOUNCED features. Remember, there are many unannounced features in 3.0.

And none of us can really say anything about the unannounced features, can we? The only ones with any clues, aside from Apple themselves, are the developers, and I don't think they can tell us anything.

What's unannounced can't be discussed, but there actually isn't that much. Mostly details of new core app functions that would be the same for the 3G and original iPhones. A2DP was originally listed as not going to the original, but the updated 3.0 page doesn't mention that. Not sure if this is an oversight or something changed.
