The folks over at iFixit didn’t waste any time taking apart their new iPhone 3G after the launch in New Zealand. They found some interesting things.

Most notably that the battery wasn’t soldered in place. They also discovered that the LCD and glass covering weren’t glued together as they were previously. Hit the link for more details. Though people are calling the battery “somewhat” replaceable, I’d say that the fact that it’s not soldered makes it pretty damn replaceable in my book.
