Gizmodo has answered this question beautifully. These guys are just great. Anyways let me put this up. You can directly go the gizmodo post and read the detailed reason.

• Apple has eliminated so many annoying little hang-ups that you might run into when using the old one. The GPS pinpoints to meters instead of blocks. The 3G connection slashes web loading times by minutes to seconds.
• The iPhone 2.0 update improves on the already great communication features such as desktop-class email and web browsing by adding MobileMe and Exchange support—both of which push emails to your phone as soon as they’re received, just like on the BlackBerry.
• There’s also the App Store, which gives you access to a gigantic library of third-party applications to add features such as controlling your iTunes, instant messaging, 3D gaming and To Do lists.
• The headphone jack isn’t recessed anymore, so you can use whatever headphones or adapters you want.
• Wi-Fi reception is better. In a side-by-side test with the old iPhone, when we walked away from an access point, the old iPhone’s connection died at 100 feet and the newer one lasted to about 120 feet.
• There’s a new Airplane mode that turns off cellular but powers up Wi-Fi for airline internet.
• The new iPhone’s speaker and mic definitely improve sound quality.
• The new camera has the same 2MP shooter which returns 1600 x 1200 pixels. There still isn’t video capture. Image processing seems to be slightly less grainy but it’s not something you would notice.
