The US version of the iPhone was released as a quadband GSM phone and not surprisingly, without 3G. This might be due to the fact that there aren't many 3G networks set up in the US yet. Data transfer is handled with EDGE, which can't compare to 3G, but is faster than GPRS. It comes with built-in 802.11 b/g wi-fi which couples with the Safari web browser for a superb online experience. It doesn't let down as a phone either. I've once read of a research somewhere which found that call quality with the iPhone was excellent. And speaking of excellent, it's the best iPod ever. With its 3.5-inch touchscreen and virtual controls, its the long-awaited iPod video brought to life. It effortless syncs with your PC/ Mac and you can manage your media files easily with iTunes. If only it had more than 8GB of memory and ran for more than 5 hours while playing movies then it would be the best PMP to carry around. But as a phone, it was built for communications, and there it shines. SMS and e-mail feature are handled via the virtual QWERTY keyboard. And as a bonus, it also comes equipped with a now standard 2-megapixel camera for fun shots.
