    Alright i know people have proboly flooded this forums with the same question but what i want to know is what are the speeds of EDGE (mainly from the iphone) vs 3g? I don't know whether to buy my iphone now or later when the 3g one comes out. I would preferably like real stats for example XXkb/s and if possible a source. Thanks!

    Re: Edge and 3g, i need numbers/stats

    kilobyte: 1,000 bytes
    Megabyte: 1,000,000 bytes

    EDGE: Real World Speeds 150-234 KiloBytes per second
    Maximum Speed with AT&T Software : 234kps

    HSPDA 3G: Real World Speeds (varies per area and device):
    700kps-1.4 Megabytes per second

    AT&T Nokia 3G device Real World 234-400kps
    (they run a lesser form of 3G called UMTS)

    Maximum HSDPA 3G Speeds: (which you'll see sometime next year)
    3.6 Megabytes per second

    On Apple.com you see advertised typical speeds which is real World speeds of 1.4 mbps for Iphone 3G

    Iphone 1.0 had Wifi to make up for the lack of 3G. Iphone 1.0 did not have 3G because the 3G chips used at the time of development did not have the battery life Apple wanted.
