It could simply be because your software is to old make sure you update to the latest using iTunes. The latest one today on 5-12-10 is 4.2.1.

It could be a fault with your phone.

It could be the app was not designed for 3g

I work for apple California trust me

That is most likely because your iPhone's software version is not up-to-date. If you update your iPhone, the app should download properly.

Can you use iPhone apps on iPhone clones?

No. The app store ( if you have it ) will know it is a clone and will say you need to have a certain update in order to install the application. I know because I thought I could do that, so I went out and bought an iPhone clone and had to trade it for the real thing. If you think you are saving money by getting the clone, don't it is just going to be a waste of time. I highly recommend just getting the iPhone. That is my opinion and I was extremely disappointed when I found out you couldn't get the apps.
