said by cableties  :Why no 3G nor 4G? (answer is, Cingular is biggest one on the block. No EVDO? Boy, us VZW users can't use it so...) Yeah, hi. Cingular's HSDPA is 3G. They didn't keep 3G out of this phone to accommodate Cingular. (According to reports, they kept to out to... keep the size down. Uh, yeah, I'd be willing to put up with a bump on the device for an extra 400kbps.) |
