Re: One dimensional thinking I travel for work, and use a smart phone. For most people, the smart phone collects email automatically, and we just read it when we get a chance.
For this purpose, the difference between 2G and 3G connections is meaningless. I was camping for three days two weeks ago, in the boonies. I had one (2G) bar on my phone, but was able to receive and send email with no problem. Speed is just not an issue.
On the rare occasions that I use the web browser - maybe to check the weather radar, or check in for my flight - I hope for 3G, so I don't grow old waiting. But, that's rare.
At home I have a need for speed, but for smart phone email, I don't. | | |

And what about people in areas where they barely have ANY data speeds at all? Between my hometown and the town I work in, I am very lucky just to be able to send/receive email. I get anywhere from 0 to 100 kbps (and it's not at all uncommon to be at 0). -- One nation, under Zod! | |
