The iPhone 4 is a penta-band phone: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-hits-fcc-becomes-worlds-second-announced-pentaband-3g/If anything, they should have made it a pentaband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA so that T-Mobile could take a crack the iPhone 4's 3G chip.
Fortunately, all seems fine in Atlanta area. I'm getting 1.14 Mbps down and .63 Mbps up.
Uploading pics and video is not uncommon.
People found this out after the 4th when aforementioned pic and videos taken during the holiday took forever, where previously they had taken very little time at all.
HSUPA is a feature for the phone. While you and I may not use it a lot, others do and are right to complain.
8289 kbps down, 1136 kbps up here in Madison, WI. All seems well over here!
Double-plus ironic even.
(For those of you wondering about this, this issue has been a hot topic on the iPhone forums *here* on MacRumors, but even so, Gizmodo beat MacRumors to the punch in "publishing" the story.)
Damn, I wish Engadget had picked this up, or anyone other than Jizzmodo...
Still linking to Gizmodo ... ?
