3G iPhone, tons of Rumours, Why does it Matter?

We’ve heard numerous rumours about a 3G iPhone, not just here at Appletell, but all over the blogosphere. Turns out none of those rumours are true, or we haven’t seen an outcome yet. But does 3G really matter? Is it the turning point between you buying one or not? Sandy Gomo, Director of Product Management for Pantech Wireless, seems to have a simple explanation for it. Basically, can give you download speeds faster which would be must needed for the iPhone Apps. A 3G iPhone would run about 600-1400 kbps, while a EDGE iPhone would run about five to six times slower. So for things like streaming video, surfing the web and downloading music would be much faster.

“With 3G networks, the potential for advanced mobile phone functionality is enormous. At its core, 3G is full of possibilities.” – Sandy Gomo, Director of Product Management for Pantech Wireless tells Erik Price

So why hasn’t Apple used 3G on the iPhone yet? Must be coming soon… why not, would only bring up sales.

Are you waiting for a 3G iPhone?
