3G...... So What?

i dont get it

Helpful. What don't you get? 3G is wireless DSL. EDGE is wireless dial-up.

1 min + to load a page sucks, especially when your trying to show someone how "cool" the iphone is.

Please tell me this will change.

What's not to get?

Mbps (1,000,000 bits per second) are faster than kbps (1000 bits per second).

EDGE speeds are around 100-400kbps.

3G (HSPDA) is around 1-40mbps.

Therefore, 3G is faster, which means all your pages on Safari won't take so long to load.

Which will make dining in Champions so much more enjoyable when I need to look up Manny's batting averages quickly!

3G will be a big upgrade over Edge but people expecting some sort of instant-quick speed will be disappointed

I can just see it now as people will swarm to the 3G Network and people will be enraged that they are not seeing pages load up as quickly as they thought
