I used to get at most 300 kbps on 3G with my iPhone 3GS, now I'm seeing upload speeds as fast as 1200kbps on 3G. MMS messages fly now.
Got a tip for us?

How are your 3G upload speeds looking with the iPhone 4?

There was an article either on Engadget or Cnet yesterday talking about their data testing. On a 3G network in New York, they were getting almost identical download speeds on the 3GS vs. IPhone 4, but upload was 10 to 12x greater on the 4 versus the 3GS.
If you watch the keynote again, at the 1 hr 46 min point, you'll see a presentation slide showing that Quad-band HSDPA/HSUPA capability of the iPhone 4 is 7.2Mbps down and 5.8Mbps up. (The 3GS does up to 7.2Mbps down but only 384Kbps up.)
Obviously the AT&T 3G network doesn't upload at 5.8Mbps but I've seen up to 1682Kbps in my brief testing of the iPhone 4.
On Comcast cable via WiFi, I typically get 10Mbps uploads -- which is the same for both 3GS and iPhone 4.
