These sorts of deprecated browsing environments (e.g. EDGE network, alternate rendering engines) are yet another good reason to design lean, standards-based web pages. If more sites were well designed (not visually but overall) there’d be less to complain about.

Also, if you’re looking for more iPhone news, reviews and info, I’ve got a mini iPhone mashup set up here…

You’ll find news from Google news, links from delicious, and blog posts from Technorati. And you can track eBay auctions by price and date.

The EDGE network was chosen because AT&T is WAY behind in rolling out their 3G network. Only about 1% of AT&T subscribers have access to 3G networks, while Verizon and Sprint have rolled out EV-DO to nearly 70% of their subscribers. Before the iPhone, AT&T was targeting individuals who wanted phones first (see RAZR being the biggest seller) while Sprint and Verizon were targeting business and power users. AT&T was very slow to adopt Smartphones, which maybe why they went after the iPhone so aggressively. Expect a 3G phone in Europe soon, hopefully coming back the States as AT&T gets their act together, and the new network rolled out.

3G would just make the iPhone so much more attractive to me. Asia should have 3G too.

The slower chip set was chosen because it gets much better battery life than the G3 chip. That is what Steve Jobs said.

I really really hope, that Apple won’t be that stupid to force customers to use a special network provider (t-mobile or vodafone would really suck). hopefully they’ll choose one of the underdogs in germany (o2 or eplus) or just give every provider the ability to sell the iphone. but i doubt they’ll be that wise.

does anyone know the reason why the slower chip set was chosen for the us? i heard it had more to do with at&t than apple.

I just wish they made better choices over networks.

A 3G phone would be better on the three network in the UK given they are all about 3G and have the best support for the service. All the other networks here are pants (I’ve tried them all).

I would rather go without, then go on an inferior network. You need the service as well as the phone otherwise its a dud, IMHO.

@coolkid: The size of the iPhone could easily fit in 3G if the Edge chip was removed. Have you seen the recent 3G phones available on the market? Tiny and slim, not the bricks of a year ot two ago. They cannot take the Wi-Fi chip of the the iPhone because most of the rivals to the iPhone have both 3G and Wi-Fi. My Sony Ericsson P990i is smaller (slightly) then the iPhone and it has 3G and Wi-Fi so I can’t see why it cannot be included. Edge can easily be removed as it’s not used in Europe.

My guess is that the European model will indeed be 3G, but because these units use far more power and space than the EDGE chipsets, the wifi will be omitted from the model. This would make perfect sense because in the US Apple felt that it would be better to comprise because of the lack of 3G networks, and the decided to include wifi.

I heard they were releasing a 100 TB iPhone in Antarctica. The phone will cost $250 and will work with or without a network provider. If you don’t choose a network provider, it’ll use Wi-Fi and a free Skype-like service to make your calls. Plus, it even has a 3D interface so you don’t ever have to touch the screen at all!

You can believe me because I was Apple’s PR man in the Freeze for a decade.

The sooner it arrives in New Zealand on the 3G network from Vodafone the happier I will be. I want one know!

I think we all discount the intelligence of apple. Give the investors everything at once, get only one stock bump.

Do things in phases, get multi-bumps.

Blimey! Makes a nice change getting the better end of a deal like that!

Not that I have *any* intention of buying the over-hyped, under-specced, out-of-date-already iPhone anyway!

Just placed my order for a new HTC S710. Expandable memory, proper keyboard, unlocked for any network, 3G, Wi-Fi, and the sixth incarnation of what was a pretty stable OS to start with! And all for less than $500…

I wonder whether all the people queuing outside the Apple shops at the moment will wake up in the morning feeling like you do on Boxing Day?

I have a tip that iPhone for Asia will announced on Tuesday. It will use i-mode and feature 100 gb of internal flash memory.

This will create three classes of iPhone users in the world: the destitute, the poor, and the chosen ones who have 200gb iPhones.

You should trust me because I ran a website covering Asia technology markets.
