Newsflash! Firmware 2.0 hints suggest Apple might be working on a 3G iPhone

6
You'll never believe this, but it looks like Cupertino might be getting ready to drop a bomb this summer -- a 3G bomb, in fact! The latest beta release of firmware 2.0 for the iPhone has apparently revealed a preference screen that allows users of the new model to disable the 3G radio and fall back to GPRS / EDGE because the faster service "decreases battery life."

honestly, when i got my iphone they were warning me to hold off since the 3G one was going to be coming, probly by the end of summer if not sooner... however, here in the US 3G isnt that big especially compared to Hong Kong or somewhere like that.

CNET.com actually had it listed (as well as the psp) as one of the top five things to wait to buy due to new features being available soon!

also, the whole reason apple didnt want the iphone 3G is because it KILLS the battery especially on a sophisticated phone... anywhere i need to access somethin i just use wifi instead!

the on/off feature does make it more alluring than i originally thought it would be :P

i couldn't wait for a 3G version. I bought mine little over a month ago and i'm enjoying the hell out of it.

As said, if i need internet or anything i just go to a public spot and leech wifi :>
