Classic Mossberg review - thumbs up of course! I really wonder why Apple wants to hide specs for another 40 some days. I really hope there's a ATT alternative states-side. And 3g is old news, when do we get to use Clear 4g or something along those lines?
A 4G option will probably appear when 4G networks and chipsets do not drain battery power faster than a mortgage broker hoovering blow off a prostitutes ass.
I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss 3G. T-mo is in the process of rolling out HSPA+ updates to their 3G network that have higher theoretical speeds than current 4G networks. The first round of markets went live within the past few weeks; something like 15 major markets (ATL is the only one I remember for sure).
The existing 4G deployments would probably collapse under the load of the millions of iPhones that will be sold in the next 60-90 days. I doubt new deployments could possibly keep up either. Personally I'm a little skeptical about 4G in the short term. Reminds me of Verizon's FTTH project. No one doubts its technical merits but if they don't actually deploy it in your area it's less impressive than a can on a string. If the same happens with 4G in the US I'll be happy with fast 3G for the next couple of years.
