The first iPhone 3G reviews have just hit, from Walt Mossberg of the WSJ and All Things D, Ed Baig from USA Today and David Pogue from the NYTimes. No one goes deep into the app store but here's what they think:

Well if you didn't know it was iPhone week yet, you do now. This morning we saw a Portuguese phone get blurrily unboxed, followed by a US version just a few minutes ago. Unfortunately they're mere teases—since you've read our 3G survival guide, you'll know that your opportunity comes Friday. So the question on everyone's mind is—are you going to pick one up? Upgrading? Sticking with the oldie? Or just can't wait for this week to be over? UPDATE: This poll may be broken. Either that, or we only have one reader who hates the iPhone—hey it's possible, but unlikely. Please continue to vote anyway, since it may just be a very laggy counter.

You're all set to get an iPhone 3G—you've done the research, you've picked a plan and you've even convinced the office you've got an 8am uh, sales call. Here's everything you need to know for launch day: Where to go, what to bring, the final word on in store-activation (you're not gonna like it), why you might be SOL if you want the mythical white iPhone (you're really not gonna like it) and more.

Apple's apparently so fed up with the high pricing that Rogers is shoving into Canadian iPhone owners' faces that there will be no iPhone 3Gs sold at Apple Stores in Canada this Friday. This follows up Apple's previous action of diverting stock from Canada to Europe, and really sets the tone that they're unhappy with Rogers' $60 for 150 minutes, 75 SMS messages and 400MB data plan. So what's the deal? Canadians who still want one will have to line up early to get one of the 10-20 units per store that Rogers is getting. If we were you, we'd stay home and wait for Rogers to admit defeat, stop slapping its customers in the face and lower its prices. [Apple Insider]
A poster over at iPhonePortugal has revealed some photos of what they claim is the first iPhone 3G unboxing. Apparently it's the 8GB version, and it certainly looks it, with its rounded back already carrying fingerprint smudges. The packaging is pretty convincing too, though we wonder about the folded-paper look on parts of it. Plus that rounded power adapter is very similar to the existing power supplies over in Europe, and different to the small square one we'd heard about. Is it the real deal? We're not going to pronounce it official, we're gonna let you call it for yourselves. Check out more photos below: they include the fabled sim ejector tool.

Square Enix has just made an iPod—not iPhone—game called Song Summoner that takes the songs stored in your library and makes soldiers out of them. The gameplay is very much Final Fantasy Tactics, which is turn-based, and you control your guys with the click wheel. Out today at $4.99 for RPG and music fans everywhere.

The guy grinning in this photo is called Jonny Gladwell, and he's from Auckland, New Zealand. Why's he grinning? He's first in the queue at the Auckland Vodafone shop. And due to the timings involved, that should make him the first person in the World to buy an iPhone 3G. Lucky bastard. [Image credit: Darryl Carey]

The 8AM times previously mentioned as the iPhone 3G sale time applied only to AT&T stores. Apple just updated their retail page to reflect the same time of sale within Apple retail spaces. I think we all assumed this was fact, but now it is. [Apple Thanks Patricio]
