My guess is that there is functionality on the iPhone that is not on the iPhon3G that your software is concerned with. My Suggestion is to query about that specific hardware instead of changing the software behaviour based on the platform.

For example. instead of checking for the availibility of GPS by asking is this an iPhone or iPhone3G query about the availability of the GPS and go from there. That way your code will work on any platform (iphone/ipod touch/iphone 3G)
