mrt2 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 So what the hell? It won't be true 3g but yet 2.5G? ONLY 2x faster than edge? Quite disapointed in this... Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerologic Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I would get one, but I'm not going with Vodafone in Australia. So Apple missed out on a sale here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that info from? As far as I know, EDGE is 2.5G and the new iPhone clearly runs 3G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted June 10, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2008 Any word if ATT allows corporate discounts on monthly plans with the iPhone? I know they did not allow them before. If they do give them, I will most definitely rotate to ATT and the iPhone 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeR Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Well I am very disappointed to see that the price of the AT&T plan for the iPhone has gone up by $10 bucks a month. Sadly that adds to the 2 year contract to make the 3G iPhone more expensive than the 2.5G iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I was trying to quietly warn people about that happening when I was saying that the price could go up to subsidize the 3G connections. :p I think it is a bad move by AT&T but they didn't ask me.

PermaSt0ne Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Users hands on videos on YouTube didnt seem that bad. engadets review says it has a slight lag to it as well, but not nearly the 3 second "slow as balls" lag as the other review says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt2 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 According to TUAW, the new iPhone will not be 'TRUE 3g' but rather only 2x as fast as EDGE... Maybe Cara could shed some light... if she's allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjf288 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If your defining true 3G then you would be relating to the original spec, if you are rfeferring to further addons such as HSDPA then I'm not so sure. I hope it has HSDPA/HSUPA - if not it could be a deal breaker, we use HSDPA increasingly in Korea and the fact the camera is still 2MP, no light, kinda hurts...

iownyou14 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Im really considering getting one when it comes out in Canada on the 11th. I really wanted a new phone and ipod touch. This is the best choice. I just want to see the rate plans on rogers before I make a decision, and knowing rogers, its going to be a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
