So is the phone coming to australia??? and if so when???
If they don't make a 3G version for the rest of the world i think it'll flop. But i'm doubtful that Apple will make a 3G version for the world while selling the GSM/EDGE version in the US - so the first version of the iPhone you see in Europe & Asia may be kinda sucky.
Well how far off having proper 3G coverage are you guys?
I would've thought we'd all get the 3G-capable phone around the same time. If we have to wait for the US to bring 3G online for too long (surely you guys can't be a year away from 3G stuff, it's been out here and in Europe/Asia for years, the first 3G phone provider here has been sponsoring the Test Cricket for the last 6 years and they've been here longer than that) then we'll all be on 4G and the argument would begin again.
2008 when the rest of Asia gets it. I reckon we'll get a 3G version that can utilise our faster HSDPA networks that are coming online now. EDGE is so slow, Telstra's nextG HSDPA network has download speeds up to 1.1Mbps at the moment and they'll be over 14mbps by the end of the year.
