| Re: What are you going to do with it? said by r81984  :You can't download music without paying for it, so I am sure people just copy music to it. It really sucks for browsing the internet so I can see that most people do not even use it. The bandwidth is probably all from email and myspace. For me, I use it at work when I want to access something like IGN or Gamestop that gets blocked by the firewall. I have had my iPhone for about 5 weeks and have received 440MB and sent 22.4 MB as of right now.
As for browsing, I find it leap and bounds above the Blackberry and Sony Ericsson phones we also have.

There are phones/browsers that are a lot better than iPhone in my opinion. | |

| The 3g speeds on AT&T suck. Comparable to Sprint EVDO Rev 0 in OKC. Rev A blows AT&T's EVDO out of the water, at least in Oklahoma.
Off Topic: I was looking at AT&T's 3g coverage map yesterday. What the hell is the problem? How is it that Sprint & Verizon have EVDO rev.a coverage in extremely rural areas and up and down every major highway...but AT&T can't even cover the major highways with 3g? I don't get it.

| As a lot of ATTM subs will tell you -- all you have to do is go to, say, the ATTM-related boards on Howardforums -- is that since the iPhone 3g launch ATTM's 3g network has shown all the signs of being horribly oversubscribed in a lot of places.
So it's a good thing they anticipated a 5x load increase and are seeing only 3x. If there had been a 5x load increase the 3g network would be essentially unusable in a lot of places. | |

| They are only using 1 of the 4 GSM bands so coverage sucks.
It is not just I-Phone, my Samsung drops calls all the time and you cannot turn off 3G, in Australia I never had 1 dropped call anywhere on 3G although the I-Phone still has problems there. | |

I think Alltel is great. When I had Sprint here in OKC, I would often put my phone in forced roam just so I could use Alltel's network. In the boonies out here in OKC, coverage was PERFECT, everywhere on Alltel. | |

| I use it regularly Well I've got a 3g iPhone and I use the 3g all the time. I watch anime's while at work, surf the net, post on forums, etc. I also Download music through dTunes(like iTunes but free music downloads..anywhere)It takes about 10 seconds to download a song with 3g btw- to people saying the speeds are bad. I use the 3g whenever possible. | |

The other day I was measuring it with DSLR's mobile tool 2x at every hour for a 4-hour period and I never got anything higher than 300kbit/sec - as always PATHETIC PIECE OF CRAP SERVICE from AT&T.

| WiFi I guess AT&T, just like DSLR forgets that people have WiFi in may spots. My EDGE iPhone was slower to load content on EDGE but when I am home I use WiFi, when at work I use WiFi, when I'm in many business locations I will use WiFi. On the 3G iPhone I only use 3G when I'm in locations that I don't have WiFi access (less than 10% of my usage). In fact, the whole reason for me to upgrade my phone was to have more storage (8GB -> 16GB phone). | |

| throw this one out there.. make an app that takes the bandwidth from the 3g network and transfer it to the wifi, and use the iphone as a wireless hotspot. that would make usage higher! of course, you may need to plug it in... and I'm not even sure if you can use both wireless features at the same time and interact with each other, but what a cool feature that would be.. | |
