I've had mine since the first day it came out also, no cracks at all. It all comes down to how you take care of it. I've seen people with 1st gen. Phones who have bent and cracked them. It is what it is, the phone has better speakers , real gps, and faster Internet (3g). With a plastic back, so if you take care of it you should be fine. Get a cover if it worries you that much!

no wonder its cheap...apples quality control yet to blame again..

i guess they didnt really test them that well..could be that the plastic backplate is made out of cheap materials..

Don't sit on your phone and you'll be fine. No cracks here. Sick of hearing people saying that 1st gen is better, when in fact it is an inferior product. Stop trying to justify that your 1st gen is better just because you can't afford a new one or didn't get out soon enough to get one.

I have a 3g on order from ATT but with all of the cracked phones, I'm tempted to send it back when it comes in.

I feel plastic is better than metal.. both my Iphone 1 and Cannon camera;s with metal cases look like crap after dents, dings, excessive scratches... etc

THe plastic versions of each simply hold up better. No dents, no dings, no cracks under same abuse as the metal versions... Thin metal should not be used on anything that is a case for someting... DUH

I love my first Gen. and I am patiently waiting for Summerboard and a steady customize. My TMobile EDGE seems to run much much faster on 2.0 than previous firmwares. Honestly Im not sure if its just timing regarding at&t's 3G network release, and TMo stepped up their speeds, or its the firmware. I CAN afford 3G's and would consider switching to AT&T when my contract ends this month. With that said, I know several people personally whom already have the 3G's and I pwned them myself, As well as their 1st gens. previously. Most tell me it was a waste to make another jump to 3G. A couple of them are already selling theirs. One has these cracks, Ive seen it. But It wasnt there when i pwned them for em so I couldnt tell you if it was abuse or not. Based on his reaction when he told me, I doubt he did it. So lets add this up:

Out of 6 people 4 have 3G's. all of which had/have the 1st gen.
3 of 4 say they prefer the 1st gen. 1 Of which has a cracked black 3G
All 3G users complain about their battery.
So 1 perfectly happy customer with a little complaint about the battery out of 4?
I dont care how you slice it, thats a failing grade. Dont you remember when you got your first iphone? I still get overly excited when i mess with mine, its been almost 8 months! My only/ever complaint about my phone has been Flash and Streaming!!!!!

Im not sold on the 3G yet, and maybe Ill make the jump in a few months when a few production runs have been done, and Im buying the phone almost bug free, Oh and T Mobile finally releases 3G speeds. Until then im keeping my original mint condition 1st Gen. Hackphone.

^^^^^ T-Mobile 3G will not work with iPhone 3G, different frequencies.

T-mobile = 1700/2100
AT&T = 1900/850

Mcgregor, your post is the most disgustingly arrogant and ignorant I have read in a long while. It basically translates as 'haha, you poor people that can't afford 3G. I can afford 3G ahaaha and its better because I'm paying more'
Next time you feel like penning such an ignorant post again, please dont hesitate to drop dead. When your phone starts cracking and if you complain, no-one will care.
