No, but the 3g has a better speaker.. :P
Internal or External?
No difference. 3G is a slightly different shape at the back, it has the 3G connection and the speaker is better.
The 3G has a much faster processor.
I have 2g, my mate has 3g.
Don't really notice anything apart from faster loading times tbh due to the better processor, just get a 2g if you're buying :)
The feel of the 2G and the 3G is AMAZING!
the 3G is so much smoother and has a nicer touch to it, but that may be cus I always stroke it lol
3G also has GPS.
Don't get the original iPhone (or "2G" as a lot of people seem to think it's called :rolleyes:). The minor differences on the 3G make all the difference.
Another overlooked difference is that the 3G's headphone jack is flush into the top (the original iPhone's jack was sort of at the bottom of a small hole at the top, lol - see pic).

I dont like the iphone 2g, because theres no such thing.
The iphone 3g will be better when they release BlueSn0w (bluetooth 'Super hack')
Unless you are desperate, I would wait a couple of months to see what the next revision has to offer: this next iPhone will be a greater step up from the iPhone 3G than the 3G was from the first iPhone model. *shrug*
