How is this any different from dial up (other than being wireless) with its high latency with narrow bandwidth?

At least its faster than VW's 1xrtt. I guarentee if the iPhone was launched on VW's 2G network people would complain a hell of alot more.

You act like this is AT&T's fault for Apple releasing an EDGE phone.

EVERYONE KNOWS EDGE SUCKS AND IS SLOW. Stop acting like this is breaking news that nobody knows.

I live in Wyoming, where we have more cows than people. We're almost entirely Rev A. Who uses 1xrtt any more?
