I don't think many people understand or realize that it's not 3G vs EDGE. You can have both. It's amazing, I know. Just like you can have a MP3 player with a FM tuner. Ask Creative. First of all, EDGE sucks. It's theoretical max is about 130 Kbps. It's actual, if you are lucky is more like 40-80. The biggest problem though is how inconsistent it is, even in metro areas. It doesn't matter how long 3G takes to roll out. It would not have added that much to the cost to add 3G to it. Apple created a "internet device" running on ISDN speeds. As for not needing 3G because there is "WiFi" everywhere ... what the heck are you talking about. Do you live INSIDE a Starbucks or Borders? There is no WiFi everywhere. But you know what there is (almost) everywhere? Cell coverage.
