I think that the only thing that stopped me was A2DP. If it had that, I'd probably have one already.

You would think that being a music oriented phone, they'd include this feature.

when true 3G gets turned on it will instantly be faster than EDGE. T-mobile caps theirs at 2Mb ... thats well above EDGE, so if they turn it on in the US i'm goign to assume it will be at 2Mb ... common sense

yeah I dont get why they didnt put this feature in... I agree that it should've been a priority

3G will be hitting in under a year by my opinion ... that means when i purchase my new phone within the next 6 months ... i will be getting something with 3G coverage.

i'm pretty sure i'm not being at all wishy-washy.

3g = new technologies up to 2 Mbits (theoretically)

ATT has 3G.

what I meant to say, I consider 3g to be the new technologies coming out that will be sporting higher speeds. You can classify edge as 3g but when the new techs come out, it won't compete. You know what i mean?
