The 40GB PS3 can't play PS2 games, has only 2 USB ports, and has no flash card readers.
The 60GB PS3 can play all PS2 games, has 4 USB ports, and has flash card readers. (but isn't being made anymore)
The 80GB PS3 can play most PS2 games, has 4 USB ports, and has flash card readers.

The 60gb version isn't available anymore, it has been replaced with the 80gb. The 40gb doesn't play ps2 discs, and the 80 does. Also, with the 80gb, it comes with Motorstorm (a very good game), and the 40 comes with Spiderman 3 (a very good movie). So, if you don't want to play ps2 games, get the 40gb since it is cheaper.

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer:
1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed.
2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. Not manufactured anymore too.
3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions.
4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system.
5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Not manufactured anymore too.
