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.)
I heard it was that the battery life is already bad, and worse if it was 3G.....
Then go back to the drawing board.

You see, this is the typical Apple problem: design and hype comes first, features and actual usability is the last.

However, once again (and I am cynical about a past friend-California-relationship that went bad), Apple (inc) designed something form over function.

Read the wired blog. How do you remove the battery to replace? (answer is, you get a new iPhone, silly or follow the iPod users to the big iPod pile that will be growing).

This is the PDA for the rest of those that need a PDA but don't like the B-berry or Q. Smartphone? Smart on your wallet. Small on storage.

Overall: Coolness factor a 10. Practical factor a 6. Networking factor a 3. (requires two hands**)

What I want to know is: where is the 16GB nano?

Time will be the judge. Meanwhile, I want games! ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17617059 Wed, 10 Jan 2007 17:14:29 EDT
