IPhone 3G S Features 7.2 Mbps, AT&T's Network Doesn't

By Glenn Fleishman, Jun 10, 2009

The iPhone 3G S unveiled by Apple Monday has the latest of everything, including 7.2 HSPA, the fastest mobile broadband flavor currently available for U.S. 3G networks. This updated 3G network might nearly triple the top downstream rate of its predecessor. The only trouble with the faster speed? AT&T hasn't rolled it out yet. While dozens of carriers worldwide have put the 7.2 Mbps flavor of HSPA in the field, AT&T is still in the planning stages. The firm has a vaguely stated schedule in place. The company said a few days before the iPhone 3G S was announced that 7.2 HSPA would start appearing on cell towers "later this year." However, the full upgrade of AT&T's 3G network won't be complete until some time in 2011.

Ok so the New iphone has 7.2 mbps capability yet it can't be used until 2011? Hmmm sounds stupid to me. By the time year 2011 rolls around there will be newer versions of the iphone so having it now is useless thanks to At&t. Sounds like a rippoff to me. And the so called newer features are software related so whats really new about the iphone hardware -- well not much at all aside from the minor camera and CPU update. Nevertheless Apple will milk thier fans out of more money yet again.
