"Wow how far in the dark ages are you guys? Everyone else has complained that data transfer rates is the biggest problem with this device yet you haven't mentioned this at all really?"
Ummm so what's this paragraph...
The most interesting discovery about the iPhone was the performance on the EDGE network. Using CATTRAX (which uses MapQuest maps) in real time with zooming and scrolling was excellent. While some of the updates took a few seconds, there was nothing that was a show-stopper in the performance. It was much better, in fact, than the Q with EVDO and Opera: that might be the AT&T network enhancements alone, but the end result was excellent.
I know it's fun to slag off one of its greatest weaknesses again but maybe you should've read the article before showing off your own bias...
