Have they figured anything out about the battery life?

Also note, some carriers in the US don’t even offer 3g phones to their subscribers yet… And Japan won’t allow them at all. Interesting comparison.

I love it. It's like living in the 'middle' of time. The US stuck behind on EDGE, Europe just hitting the boundaries of what's possible with HSUPA going live in London City and now Japan way ahead with their disposal of the 2G network... Cool.

Well… If it’s launching over there then I can see Apple quickly raming in the 3G for them. I think the UK should take note and start selling more 3G phones and less 2G ones. But I think that because 3G coverage is so low in the areas where it is, (and suffers inside). Us brits are just not bothering much. Our 4 Network Operators need to get theirselfs sorted.

50% 3G penetration in North America? Really? I would've thought it was 50% Western Europe and10% North America! Martin's last blog post..Why we need a 'techno revolution' in transport info
