To whet your appetite for the second coming of the Jesusphone, check out videos from The New York Times's David Pogue, who provides a cheesetastic and informative review of the iPhone 3G; online video tutorial service MonkeySee, showing you how to import your SIM card, contacts, and other information from another phone; and a meaty overview and how-to of iPhone 3G features and capabilities from Apple itself.

Start with the five-minute Pogue video. No joke is too cornball as the Timesman laffs it up, pretend-interviewing a scruffy-looking actor posing as a guy who's been waiting on line to buy the iPhone for a year. But the video isn't all jokes, it's also an informative review, hitting on the main benefits and drawbacks of the iPhone 3G.

On the MonkeySee site, host Joshua Dubois provides a four-minute tutorial in upgrading to the iPhone 3G from an older iPhone, or any other phone. He shows you how to erase your information from your old iPhone before giving it to someone else, and how to import contacts into the iPhone 3G from an older iPhone, or from another brand of phone.

And, for your doctorate in iPhone-ology, watch this half-hour iPhone tutorial from Apple, covering everything from powering on the iPhone, to using the Web browser, Maps, calendar, e-mail, and more. It's a good video -- I learned a couple of things myself, and I've been using the iPhone for a year now. It stars "Bob," who apparently sneaks into Steve Jobs's closet at night and steals his clothes.
