With the iPhone 3G all set to go on sale tomorrow morning, there are still some unanswered questions about the iPhone 3G.. Apple seems to have coordinated review spree from Walt Mossberg, Edward Baig, and David Pogue, all out with major hands-on reviews.

Is it the cost, or is it the carrier choice or is it the design cues since you are going to have to acquaint yourself to a completely new experience of mobile phones..

Once saved, simply go to that bookmark for the required action. You can see my collection of bookmarklets on the right. I have organized it into a folder placed in the toolbar, so that any bookmarklet can be accessed with 2 clicks. Onto the favelets then.
