Does NBC’s Chuck have a 1st gen or 3g iPhone?

UPDATE
Apparently he doesn’t have 3g. In the end of the latest episode, which aired 2 weeks after he was seen sporting the 3g not, he can be seen with a first gen sneakily wrapped in a black case.

Well it has always looked, at least to me, like Chuck has a 1st gen iPhone. Sometimes it was harder to tell because of the various cases on the phone, but pretty sure it was 1st gen. In the last episode, the one where Morgan rips on the Zune, Chuck starts out the episode with a 1st gen and ends with a 3g. Now I guess I could claim this isn’t a continuity error as he works at the Buy More (aka Best Buy in real world) and he could have picked up an iPhone 3g at work when he wasn’t in scene, but that’s a bit of a stretch.

We’ll have to stay tuned to see if he is still packing the 3g in future episodes and then maybe my above theory could start being a bit more believable.

Anyway, here are 2 still shots from the same episode. The first at the very beginning with a first gen on his night table and the second him calling Sarah after he beats the game and gets the code.
