Apple's iPhone 3G arrived on Friday with a bevy of new enterprise-ready features, including Exchange support, business-grade security and third-party applications powered by an SDK. As with the first iPhone, our sister site TechRepublic in the US waited in line, bought a phone, signed an AT&T contract and promptly began to crack open the case. Come along as we disassemble the Apple iPhone 3G and see how easy it is to replace the battery if it goes wrong.

(TechRepublic always disassembles gadgets with the intent to reassemble them. The iPhone 3G was no exception -- it worked when it was put back together.)
