Are 3g ones relatively new then?

The iPhone 3G came out in July (or was it June?) this year, about a year/year and a half after the first iPhone (the 2G) and is basically exactly the same, bar three main things;
1) 3G network reception/access
2) GPS access (far more pinpoint than cellular triangulation)
3) All-plastic case (instead of the aluminium case on the first phone)
