i'll be waiting in line for one. 8 years in the cell industry and this IS the future.
the 3g network is damn fast, and if you're in an area where it's not built out yet, or the roaming partner hasn't built it out yet (most likely) then it switches down a gear. The coverage is going to be the same or better because the 3g is an overlay to the current umts (2.5g) data platform.
8 years and you call the iPhlop "THE FUTURE"?
FAIL.
1. ATT has had 3G since the Legacy BLue days...You know 2 mergers ago?
2. TheiPhlop will STILL take a back seat to the Workhorse of the ATT smartphone line...The HTC TILT.
3. My HTC Wizard(same thing as a HTC TyTn1) WILL do more than an iPhlop EVER could hope to do.
