3gs phone will not fit in dock for 2g phone

I just had to replace my original iphone with a 3Gs. Third party (Belkin) dock and cables will not fit in the new 3Gs. Is this a common issue? These are USB connectors, not firewire. Is the 3Gs thicker than the 2G?

MPB, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

But none of the basic cables for charging or connecting to the mac don't fit either. Is the connector on the new iPhone different from the original phone?

No. The connectors are the same (but the firewire charging pins are not used on the 3G and 3GS). The 3G and 3GS case is shaped a bit differently from the original iPhone, so they will not fit into an original iPhone dock unless you do a bit of cutting in the dock, but cables should fit the phone.
