[quote vision63]How connected do you need to be? Be kinda like having one of those beer can holding hats with the tubes leading to your mouth.
LOL! That's an apt description for surfing the web on a Treo, WM, or Blackberry device with 3G data access -- sure, the speed is great, but the browser sucks rocks and the processor in the device can't render what text and graphics it can actually display very quickly anyway.
I mean, if I were to get an iPhone I'm sure I could pattern my data access habits around the strength or weakness of the network I'm on (just stick to lower-bandwidth apps like Google Maps while on EDGE), but I'm leaning towards not spending iPhone kind of money on a device that doesn't do 3G. iPhone absolutely must do 3G before launching in Europe because it's far more widespread over there, so I expect iPhone the Next to be out in fairly short order.
