Hi Masseur,
I know that but as they are an extremely pro iPhone magazine i seriously doubt that have an ulterior motive. Personally i feel it is more likely to be a 02 restriction then anything else. But a lot of the speed comparisons of the iPhone are confusing to say the least.
I suppose really still the $64,000 question is can it be unlocked or not as until it can be used on another Network it will hard to know for sure.

I don't think they have any motive at all, they're just rattling off some number they read somewhere.
I've been reading T3 since they started even though its one of the worst tech mags around (stuff is only marginally better) but they do have good pics to drool over

Hi all,
Was just reading August's T3 which has a 3G iPhone review and it says,
"With speeds of up to 1.8mbps" "However actual speeds will will vary a lot depending on where you are"
Not sure but is this a iPhone limitation or down to 02?

I used the 3G Iphone last week, Google maps loaded as fast as HSDPA 3.6!
I was shocked at the download speed and just overall speed of the phone!!
I think it has HSDPA or some sort of compressing data browser.

We know it has HSDPA the big question is how fast can it support? as currently there doesn't appear to be a clear answer to that question.
Personally i think the 1.8mbps may be an 02 restriction and not down to the iPhone. Most devices now support 3.6mbps and many are coming out supporting 7.2mbps. When you are talking about double or four times faster at these rates that makes a huge difference well it does IMO.

I don't get it. What's so great about iPhone? It hasn't got MMS, nor Cam recorder and only a 2mp cam. Sure 16gb harddrive, gps, big screen is cool, but there are other phones that can do that too.
And Apple talk about "astonishing new features", which are they?

@Dogmann
I'm interested to know which devices have 7.2Mbps HSDPA other than SE's Broadband Data cards and VodaUK's USB modems. Can you elaborate please?

Lol you right I ddint know it supported HSDPA.
I guess HSDPA is a upgrade of 3G and both work on the 2100 band.
If I had to guess, Id say it was 3.6Mbs unless I had a very strong 1.8 Mb connection which is also very possible.
I was still impressed!
@ Car the most common phone on the market supporting 7.2 is the Samsung G800

I'm somewhat disappointed to see cheaper materials in use from Apple - the plastic rear is just too tacky...

too tacky? it looks quite smooth to me
the volume buttons are no longer plastic but instead are metal
anyway, I'll reserve judgement until its in my hands... only 9 days 'till release!

I read in a few places that it was changed to plastic due to the addition and placement of the 3G antenna and GPS

I for one think the shiny plastic is nicer than the boring grey matte metal on the old iPhone.
I hear AT&T will sell unlocked 16Gb iPhone 3G for USD 699, that's quite attractive i think.
