iPhone 3G it's already OLD

[shpanzer]

Today i seeHere (http://applestoreitalia.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/liphone-e-gia-old/) that Ericsson had show his new cellphone 4G. The iPhone is only 3G. So is already old...

[Applejuiced]

What good is 4G where there is no 4G coverage from the network?
AT&T is rolling out 3G in more and more places and they have most major cities covered with 3G.

[psychofreak]

Wow, I wish the iPhone looked as pretty as that :rolleyes:

[nickspohn]

1) 4G doesn't even exist in America i believe.
2) Faster internet doesn't make the iPhone old. It just means well...there is faster internet. It's like dial up and cable. Once cable came out, that still doesn't make the internet "old".

[Applejuiced]

Wow, what the hell is that?
How do you hold that on your ear? :D
lol

yes but the 4G is more fast...3g is already old. why Apple relese new iPhone with only 3G?

[nickspohn]

yes but the 4G is more fast...3g is already old. why Apple relese new iPhone with only 3G?

i guess apple is "more slow"... EDGE is already old. why apple is releasing 3G iphone now. no 4g in EMARIKA

i don't know but this phone is very very fast than iPhone

[corrado7]

yes but the 4G is more fast...3g is already old. why Apple relese new iPhone with only 3G?

please read the above comments. NO US network has support for 4G and very few other networks around the world. THATS THE REASON! Practicability. What good is a 4G phone if there are no major support for it yet. :confused::confused:

"4G is more fast"? I believe the correct phrasing would be, "4g is faster," but either way, 3g is more widely available. I agree with Applejuiced, "What good is 4G where there is no 4G coverage from the network?
AT&T is rolling out 3G in more and more places and they have most major cities covered with 3G."

[shpanzer]

ok i understand but why build 3G network when 4g is more fast?

[miniConvert]

Long Term Evolution (LTE/4G) is just a plan at the moment, not a reality. It's just part of a roadmap for operators that are currently using 3G/WCDMA with HSPA. We've another two years minimum of speed increases on HSPA, which will top 14mbps, before LTE kicks in.

iPhone 3G is plenty new. Hell, the iPhone is groundbreaking and new and it only uses GSM as its cellular radio ;)

[corrado7]

ok i understand but why build 3G network when 4g is more fast?

4g is slowly developing and will be here soon. use logic to answer your questions.

[Applejuiced]

Duh genious, cause there is no 4G coverage in the US.
How they gonna release a 4G version where the network wont be able to support it?

yes but the 4G is more fast...3g is already old. why Apple relese new iPhone with only 3G?

[Applejuiced]

Good, you can have it if you want.
I'll stick with my iphone :D
lol
How many pounds does that huge thing weight and how big is it?
Do you need a backpack for it?

i don't know but this phone is very very fast than iPhone

[nickspohn]

they are building 3G networks because they don't want fugly phones like that


but seriously. america only has EGDE pretty much all around the country. 3G is still in the early growing stages. in europe, 3G is like EDGE here, it's everywhere. like someone else said, it's all part of the roadmap.

[Sky Blue]

4G is more fast.


more fast! why didn't anyone tell me!

[shpanzer]

ok and when AT&T & company will build 4G network?

[Applejuiced]

Who knows, it might take years.
I know worldwide 3G is more popular and available in most countrys.
So now that the iPhone is going to be released worldwide in over 12 different countrys 3G is a better choice cause its already available. Not many places have 4G tech yet. As the cellphone market evolves and companys roll out 4G coverage thats when the next iPhone in 2-3 years maybe would be 4G.


ok and when AT&T & company will build 4G network?

December 21st, 2012

The same day the mayan calender ends, and the world probably ends too.

[Dagless]

What on earth? Maybe when 3G has the coverage of Edge will 4G be even a viable option. The fastest I've seen is HSDPA, can any UK network, or even European network support 4G? I've never seen it on my travels...


And Moses on a boat that's an ugly phone. New tech needn't be ugly, manufacturers.

[shpanzer]

the chineses had already 4G network -.-

[AlphaAnt]

To ever get on 4G there will need to be serious improvements in battery technology before devices will get any smaller than that. AT&T's implementation of HSDPA/HSUPA will probably be pushing those speeds within a few years anyway (hopefully only requiring firmware updates on the iPhone).

[nick9191]

yes but the 4G is more fast...3g is already old. why Apple relese new iPhone with only 3G?
I just bought a blu-ray player. I don't have any blu-ray disks and don't intend on buying any for five years but who cares :rolleyes:

/sarcasm

the chineses had already 4G network -.-

America doesn't even have decent 3G coverage yet, I only want the 3G because I'm in Britain, but for the majority of people harping on about 3G, the majority can't even use it anyway.

[miniConvert]

the chineses had already 4G network -.-
LMAO!

*time to leave :D*

[mark34]

you guys do know that shpanzer is kidding, or at least tongue in cheek... right? he must be.

[Applejuiced]

I doubt it, judging from his poor spelling I'd say he's not from around here. Maybe Japan or China.

[TimJim]

This is the dumbest argument ive ever seen.

4G is more fast. ;)

[nickspohn]

he isn't kidding.

i think he's from italy.

[shpanzer]

sorry but i'm italian :-D

[Applejuiced]

That explains everything :D

sorry but i'm italian :-D

[Stampyhead]

he isn't kidding.

i think he's from italy.

Seeing as the article he quoted is in Italian that would be my guess too. I don't think he understands half of what you guys are saying (at least I hope that's his excuse) so there really is no use arguing with him. We'll leave him to his Sony Walkman phone with 4G even though there are no 4G networks, and we'll go back to waiting for the new iPhone.

[nickspohn]

ahhhhh i was right.

it's all good. we understand for your spelling mistakes. english is a hard language

[shpanzer]

Vi va di fare una partita a calcetto italia - stati uniti?

Today i seeHere (http://applestoreitalia.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/liphone-e-gia-old/) that Ericsson had show his new cellphone 4G. The iPhone is only 3G. So is already old...

First of, 4G is not widely available, second, 4G is in concept mode, not a reality. Not even Japanese (who are the most advanced, have 4G yet).

yes but the 4G is more fast...3g is already old. why Apple relese new iPhone with only 3G?

Ok, 4G maybe fast, but is it out in North America or anywhere where the iPhone is currently offered? No.

i don't know but this phone is very very fast than iPhone

What the hell is that? A radio transmitter? Looks more like a walkman to me than a phone.

ok i understand but why build 3G network when 4g is more fast?

Because 4G is still being developed. 3G has still much more to run before it is even considered being replaced.

ok and when AT&T & company will build 4G network?

Possibly when their bank accounts are a little fatter and their 3G network has runned its life time. In the mean time, 3G is fast enough.

the chineses had already 4G network -.-

Chinese barely have 3G, BTW, Japanese are more advanced than Chinese and they are still experimenting the 4G network, no handset that does 4G is out yet in Japan that is widely consumed.

[deputy_doofy]

Looks like a 21st century Walkman. Wouldn't want it.

And what's with the 4G comments?

4G - The official bread crumb of the Davis family. :p

[nickspohn]

35 posts later, i think the poor guy got his answer. :o

[shpanzer]

thank you for the info on iPhone and 4G network. e viva la figa.

[Zwhaler]

thank you for the info on iPhone and 4G network. e viva la figa.

No problem. Btw, I know what that last part means :D

[ChrisK018]

Our Italian poster is ahead of his time.

I can say with 100% certainty that when 4G networks are a viable option there will be thousands of posts on here slobbering over whatever Apple manages to come up with.

"I like the slick black look" vs. the "I want brushed metal" lovers.

That phone in the pictures looks like a sweet portable TV from 15 years ago. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself about it.

[kdarling]

but seriously. america only has EGDE pretty much all around the country. 3G is still in the early growing stages.

Speaking for ATT coverage, that is.

Verizon has pretty good 3G coverage, and people with EVDO Rev A are reporting 2+Mbps downloads.

[JBaker122586]

the chineses had already 4G network -.-

Because they have 6 year olds building cell towers for 50 cents a day.
We don't have that luxury here.

[impact_blue]

ok i understand but why build 3G network when 4g is more fast?

We're slowly moving there. The U.S. network is soooooooo tingled up compared to other countries, that's why their phones can do so much more than ours.

[Scaryclouds]

the chineses had already 4G network -.-

Check your facts, China only has trials running for 4G. The US will be getting a lot of 4G coverage here pretty soon once Xohm(Sprint) gets up.

Currently the most advanced 4G networks I know of would be Korea (WiBro) and Japan (WiMax), atleast Japan's I know is still in the very early stages of development.
