What’s the point of having something new without comparing it to the old? Here’s an image of the upcoming 3G iPhone with the older version, courtesy of our friends at iLounge.

Its front is nearly precisely the same as the original model’s, now with an array of three sensors (two proximity sensors, one ambient light sensor) in a J shape to the left of the ear speaker, and a wider black frame around its 3.5” touchscreen. Whereas the previous iPhone was narrower than a full-sized iPod, iPod classic or iPod touch, the iPhone 3G is now the same 2.4” width, and slightly taller than

the iPod touch and classic at 4.5” versus 4.3” and 4.1”. The 0.48” depth is thicker than the touch (0.31″), 80GB classic (0.41″), and original iPhone (0.46″) but thinner than the 160GB classic (0.53″), and tapered at the sides for the appearance of thinness. At 4.7 ounces, it weighs more than iPod touch (4.2), but less than the iPod classic (4.9-5.7 oz.).

Those are just snippets of their observation. whether you want to know more, read our source.
