How fast does the NYTimes.com download on EDGE?

[drumstyx6464]

lol and it's STILL not fully loaded

[burncore]

so.. i was interested in getting a blackberry for tmobile -- which only offers EDGE -- but after seeing this pitiful thing, i think i'm just gonna hold on to my money until I can switch carriers completely...

[amd77j]

lol. reality at play. lol.

[acp6s]

lol. apple sells their products via ingenius marketing, not because of superior products. they create mindless fanboys everywhere there are emotionally driven stupid american consumers with too much discretionary income (or actually, mostly in debt)

How fast is 3G? I use edge and it's a bit slow, but not that slow in my area. The Wi-fi around my house is too slow, the wireless network have poor signal anyway. You want a fast wi-fi connection go around a public library and use the connection they have. Man it's super quick.

[grull27]

Yup EDGE is so slow that I just decided to get an iPod touch so that I could have 16 gigs.

If it used 3G I would have gotten an iPhone.

[ThatBoyRaym]

You are soooo much help in my book its you and its God and then its that dude that swims in piss. J/K! I was thinking about getting the Iphone but im not sure but all of the starbucks have AT&T now so I just get the Ipod touch and wait for the Ihone 3g version. man Im so confused I dont know what to do.

[dahkillahmac]

i tried this and it actually took 2.7 seconds (stop clocked it ^.^)

[44pullups]

you were on wifi then.

i have demo'd twice at the ATT store and it was - maybe not this slow - but still, s-l-o-w

[dahkillahmac]

No I wasnt. I was on EDGE. WiFi was probably instant. dont remember. But whats shown in this vid. is fast enough. Its not a super computer ....

[DauntlessEagle1]

What the hell ... ive seen ones download so much fater than that .. and no they we not on wifi ... AT&T suck

[jumanjifro]

uhh di you ever think that the commercial iphone was on wifi?

[thisbeadam]

hahaha

this really made me laugh

there are other places that have better coverage

but still,

nice.

[benboesel]

lol he skipped that part where it was loading the internet was already loaded when they opened it

[gne001]

LOL you must live in the worst EDGE coverage area on earth! Or a bunker.

[RedStarr2121]

Now try it over WiFi...you asshole.

[internationalnineone]

You must live in a crappy area for reception or its an overloaded area.

[pooliscool12345]

haha, its so true. EDGE sucks, they should work on that. iPhone rocks :)

[stryni]

guess they didn't include 3g or HDCSPA or any other new technology so they could sell the upgraded version in half a year or so

[vegeta90049]

they totally use wi-fi on the commercial

[Kaibot]

so your connection sucks.... cool

[Mastershake329]

i just tried it myself and it wasnt that bad.

[damnyooneek]

just as fast as IE for WM5

[fmjammo]

Apple were demonstrating the phone can handle internet...but did not specified what was the phone connection to the internet. I bet DarkBeanz was on EDGE, results would be faster on WIFI.

[novanhoj]

lol

[ohumeid]

even aliens who live in the core of mars know by now that edge is slow, so what ur point? did apple calim edge is fast?, was apple demonstrating the speed of the net at this ad?? no they weren't..

[PonchoRamirez]

And who said that in the "Apple Video" they used EDGE not WiFi???

[jillxjillx]

well i get the point
