I heard it's only GSM and not 3G. Which makes this phone 100% useless for anything internet related. I don't count wireless because wireless access is hardly something easy to come by. I want to use the phone on the net wherever I am using the mobile network. [thumbdown]

If I'm wrong correct me. But apple has screwed up big time using slow old mobile tech.

no, actually, it's a pretty good business move. Obviously, people are buying them in droves anyways, and in the process, Apple keeps it's cost down. Now, of course they are already working on the next revision that has the newer feature (i forget what it's called) and people will wait again in line when those come out. It's a brilliant but somewhat customer unfreindly business move. MS did a similar thing with the x360 imo. Got it to market, people buy in, then improve it, and people still buy in.
