Re: Who cares about 3G said by beaups:Data plans on ATT are the same whether you get 3G or edge... I was referring to AT&T vs T-mobile, not EDGE vs 3G (as stated in my original comment that quoted Karl saying "But here in the States, your only GSM alternative to AT&T would be T-Mobile"). I have unlimited, uncapped EDGE from T-mobile for $20. It may not be the fastest, but it beats the $30 plan with caps for an iPhone. And I can tether it to a computer without any extra apps or plans. said by beaups:it's amazing how people HERE of all places say "who cares about 3G"...I'm truly shocked. The 3G footprint is small (even on AT&T). Unless you're in a major metropolitan area, you can't get it. And the whole point of a cell phone is to be able to take it anywhere. 3G isn't that great when it doesn't work in 90% of the country.

AT&T seems to have 3G HSDPA operating in areas they don't necessarily issue a press release about. Maybe the band-limited iPhones can't find the right towers? I don't really care at this point.
