Thinner edges, full plastic back, flush headphone jack and the iPhone 2.0 firmware, that is what the new iPhone 3G looks like. It’s even cheaper than the first iPhone, and soon will be available all over internationally. According to Apple, its 3G speeds trounce the competition, with pageloads 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750.

It can be up for 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video and 24 hours of audio. The iPhone 3G also features an A-GPS system which supplements regular satellite GPS data with info from cellular towers for faster location.

Unfortunately, there is no front-facing cam. Apple hopes to launch it in 70 countries this year with the black 8GB going for $199 and 16GB for $299 in black or white. The iPhone 3G will hit the 22 biggest markets, including the US, on July 11th.
