I'm sure it'll be a very nice phone. TBH I didn't realise they weren't 3g already and I was a bit surprised by that as well.

You're surprised that something written by a tech journalist is inane rubbish that misses the point?

Also, note that the content is actually taken from silicon.com, so it was originally written for a US audience - 3G is still the Next Big Thing over there, given how far behind Europe they are in "cellphone" technologies.

People had 3G phones with video calling 3 years ago and therefore the supposed next gen iphone is crap?

Nope - it was a phone (with a few extra bits) not a pretty ipod with a phone nailed on. I could use it as a modem too.

They might catch up soon
