Representing perhaps the best evidence to date of a pending 3G iPhone release, a screenshot of the current pre-release iPhone OS 2.0 build shows a setting for turning 3G capabilities on or off. The setting is accompanied by the text "Using 3G loads data faster, but decreases battery life."

See our previous coverage regarding what 3G capabilities for the iPhone really mean.
