According to an article at TMO, the availability of 3G connections in the AT&T network is pretty limited to big metropolitan areas. The map is not good.<br><br><br><br>[color:red]</font color=red> [color:orange]</font color=orange> [color:yellow]</font color=yellow> [color:green]</font color=green> [color:blue]</font color=blue> [color:purple]</font color=purple>

Yep, this is a big reason Apple can't sell these to many people. <br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean. Too much money been spent upon the moon.

Exactly, my Nokia is 3G/2G and it automatically switches between them.. Riyadh is not 100% 3G yet.<br><br>[color:blue]flick</font color=blue>[color:red]r</font color=red><br> <br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by walzuhair on 06/13/08 05:29 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

I don't know Marg. According to this, there is only one plan for the new iPhone.....the more expensive one. <br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.

What iBookmaster said. Of course you can use the iPhone with EDGE, but you'll be paying G3 prices.<br><br>[color:red]</font color=red> [color:orange]</font color=orange> [color:yellow]</font color=yellow> [color:green]</font color=green> [color:blue]</font color=blue> [color:purple]</font color=purple>

And that does make a very valid point. Of course, one might rationalize it by saying that they got a GPS for an extra $10.00 a month.<br><br>[image][/image]
they just added 3G here a few months ago, which surprised me as it wasn't scheduled until 2009. but our coverage even extends out to my university which is 12 miles outside of the city (though, i work on the downtown campus and not the main one).<br><br>--<br>[color:red] Kansas Jayhawks -- 2008 National Champions </font color=red>

That and another possible plus is if you combine the old network coverage and the new network coverage, it should mean better overall coverage. For the actual phone part I mean. If you couldn't get phone coverage for the 2G in certain areas and you can with the 3G, it's better overall coverage. Did I say that right?<br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.
