The name of the next iPhone

By calling the current 2nd generation iPhone the 3G after the telecomms technology incorporated, while iPod models are referred to by their iPod generation, Apple are facing a challenge with the naming of the rumoured new 3rd generation iPhone, possibly due in July.

It's possible that the new phone uses 3.5G telecomms technology, so could be called the 3.5G. Other possible names include iPhone 3, iPhone 3G2, iPhone G3 (I like that one), iPhone nano (if it's smaller), iPhone 32 (if it has larger capacity). Or maybe they'll just call it the new iPhone.

Does anyone have inside info, good rumours, or plain old wacky speculation? If so, please share.
