3G is faster, basically. When you're browsing the web over 3G for instance, it'll be much faster than the current shitty 2.5G or whatever the iPhone uses.
Wi-Fi?
Poseidon - At the minute the iPhone uses GPRS and Wi-Fi and it really isn't that bad! I'm not sure about 3g. Also (thanks to Zimmer for this) - iPhone 2.0 is an update in firmwire. Also, there is an application that can let you do MMSs so
don't let anyone tell you otherwise - they are just trying to find every fault with the iPhone because they are anti-Apple for whatever reason. (and honestly...probably not even because they don't like Apple)
I recommend you crack your iPhone
Well worth it!
The iPhone uses GPRS and Edge as mobile internet protocols. Edge isn't available everywhere and wi-fi coverage is even less widely available. Edge runs slow, about 256kbps - 3G over UTMS runs at between 5 and 10mbps. It's a substantial improvement that virtually all modern phones include. It is a mystery why Apple haven't included 3G support for the iPhone which would allow things like iPlayer to work on the move.
The iPhone is shockingly badly designed in many really simple areas. However there are other, traditionally far more complicated and difficult to get right, areas that the iPhone excels in. But it is hard to overlook the few simple and glaring design flaws (no Java, no flash, no 3G, shit camera etc.) which, coupled with the absurd pricing, make the iPhone a bit of a gay faddish gadget.
Actually the iPhone has a REALLY GOOD camera, fuck, its not a Cannon Rebel, or even a cybershot... but if it was it would be pretty damn big
For them to cram mp3, web browsing, etc on the phone itself, and then put a camera in there, thats pretty damn good, is pretty damn amazing
I wouldnt want Java on my phone, because of the crap that comes with Java, I would like Flash but its un-reasonable to try to download flash with EDGE
I would rather have my iPhone than my piece of shit Razr, and id rather have an iPhone than a Verizon Voyager, one, its cheaper, two its an ipod with a GOOD camera.
People, like the Original poster said, this isnt for trashing iPhones... so iPhone haters, GTFO.
