Re: Reliance on WiFi said by mph300:said by verolom:Here's another point, EDGE is more widely deployed than HSDPA so if coverage is more important, it's not a bad choice. agree, coverage is important. except for the fact they could have made it 3g/edge compatible and given the users the ability to have 3g when in a 3g area and edge in an edge area, like most of their phones. mike But that goes TOTALLY against Mr Jab's (yes Jab's) business model. Why provide a usable device to the masses only to loose out on a "must have, look at me, I'm standing in line again" costly upgrade, a few months down the road. This iAttitude also explains why the user can't swap out the battery when it dies or worse. And just like the iPod, it has to go back to Apple for a replacement. But there are a lot of little things that I'm sure are not important to some that makes them see this is NOT a innovative phone. I see it as nothing more but a hype device that can't even record video/sound, requires a SPECIAL email account to do email (sucks to be you pop3, IM, Yahoo users), it doesn't have voice commands (does this thing even have a speaker phone?), only works with iTunes.. I won't even pick at AT&T's coverage/Edge network. Hope it comes with a vast supply of handywipes and rib eaters beware.  |
