A 3G Version Of The iPhone To Be Released

If there were one complaint about the iPhone it would have to be the slow network speeds and compared to the competition of 3G phones out there, the iPhone is much slower. This equates into slower web surfing and email downloading, which is an important part of today’s daily activities by the casual user as well as the business user. Of course, these slower network speeds are due mostly to the AT&T EDGE network. It is definitely the one topic current iPhone users talk about on forums, in coffee shops and anywhere else they congregate. A 3G version has always been the hot topic among these groups, and now the talk has become a reality. The new 3G version of the iPhone is scheduled for a summer release this year. However, there is a catch: The current iPhone will not be able to be upgraded. So, if you bought the iPhone early and took the plunge, or even if you decided to wait a few months before purchasing it, you are going to be stuck with the slower speeds of the older model. Now, the good news is that for those that waited to get an iPhone or simply couldn’t afford one at the time of its release will be able to purchase the new 3G version of the iPhone this summer.

So for most of us that waited to purchase an iPhone – we are in luck and I for one will now wait until the summer release of the new 3G model.
