Steve Jobs‘ keynote speech was inundated with applause from the crowd as he made the announcement. Notes Jobs,
We’ve learned so much with the first iPhone. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned and more and created the iPhone 3G. It’s beautiful. This is what it looks like. Black back! Thinner at the edges. Full plastic back, it’s really nice.

- Solid metal buttons
- Flush headphone jack
