[quote=Trevor Barnes;3693987]Looks like AT&T/Cingular has boosted EDGE speeds today. It's part of a $50,000,000 upgrade of their network. Not 3G speeds, but a big improvement apparently.

207 kb/s
186 kb/s
176 kb/s
196 kb/s
290 kb/s
264 kb/s
190 kb/s
etc.

That's not fast enough for someone to do basic browsing on a cell phone?!?...

It would be if you were using a wap browser, and checking scores, but the second best selling point of the Iphone is its wonderful safari browser. (The first being the categorized voice mail). The "wonderful" speeds you are listing is about a quarter of what you can get from Sprints EVDO, Mind you I don't have that delightful browser the Iphone has, but Opera Mobile has been pretty solid.... and fast!
