AT&T's "Edge" Network Shatters iPhone Mobile Web Expectations

I have to agree with the other two comments: EDGE isn't great but it's certainly usable and very useful. I've been amazed, actually, that I can download and watch YouTube videos over EDGE and it's not too slow.

WiFi, on the other hand, is terrific on the iPhone. I have found myself many times reaching for my iPhone instead of bothering to fire up the laptop. This happens much more with the iPhone than with my last phone (a Treo 680).

Network speed is one issue, and I'll probably buy a 3G iPhone as soon as it's available. But don't make the mistake of discounting the iPhone's incredible ease-of-use, which makes checking stocks and weather, for example, the kind of quick task it should have been a long time ago.

And this is just the 1.0 device! Better than my 6th gen Treo!
