There is no 3G iPhone as yet because, as Jobs said at the launch, the "The trade off with 3G [in battery life] is too bad right now."
And between now and 1Q 2008, what is going to change regarding battery capacity? No new battery tech is available. Will the 3G radio chips change enough between now and then to reduce power draw? Or will Apple make a bigger, thicker iPhone to handle a bigger battery for 3G use?
There is supposed to be a new chip, which is much better then it is now. The chip will use less energy so its better battery life. 3g should have included some of gsm's battery saving aspects.
