Yes, an iPhone available across carriers would in fact be a significant change, but there were other changes with the second generation besides the 3G upgrade (which was mostly AT&T, not Apple's doing), most important being the App Store, which was not available in 1.0.

Thanks for commenting and for noticing that I try to respond to most comments. It's something I try to do build community and keep the conversation going.

It was just pointed out to me that I mistakenly wrote that the G1 has only 2 MB of memory. What I should have said is that it has 2GB of memory. Still not all that good compared to the 8 GB and 16 GB offered on the iPhone, but better than what I wrote. :-)

Thanks, David for pointing out the error of my ways.

The same correction goes for the BB Storm. That should be 1GB of memory (not 1 MB as I wrote). That would be very bad, not that 1 gig is very good.
