Perhaps I've read the specs wrong, but if they're claiming it's thinner then I'm yet to believe it:
iPhone dimensions: 115 x 61 x 11.6mm
Weight : 135g
3G iPhone dimensions: 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3mm
Weight : 133g
So it's marginally bigger than the previous generation and 2g lighter.
Pah! Marketing.
Anyhow let's see if this thing is available on other networks apart from O2 in the UK, then it becomes more interesting. If not then it's a case of hack it or look at the offerings to come at the  announcement on the 17th June.
I hope can surprise us all. |

Hi all
Well OK it's confirmed that it has HSDPA but something doesn't make sense as the claim of 2.8 faster then EDGE is a severely cut down HSDPA speeds.
Please some one correct me if I'm wrong but isn't EDGE slower than 3G and 3G is 384kbps and i believe EDGE is 280kbps odd well 2.8x faster then 280kbps is well bellow even 1mbps. Even basic HSDPA is up to 3.6mbps and a lot devices are now coming equipped to support up to 7.2mbps as the networks are rolling out support for this.
So what is happening with the 3G iPhones HSDPA support then? as i for one am confused.

Is anyone else having problems viewing the TV ad? I can't see it in either Firefox 3 or Safari. I just get a blank space in the middle of the page.
Oh and yes - I do have Quicktime installed.

any news on whether it's just 02 again for the UK?
If so, all the smarty pants out there get your tools ready to begin hacking as soon as the things released |

I think they playing it safe on the Edge v 3G, speeds as not alot of networks world wide will support the higher HSDPA speeds, and it also depends on coverage with 3G. So like the new broadband rules you have to give actual speeds not what the chip can handle if you next to a tower.
So in other words True Marketing.
