I am only getting 600kbps using text.dslreports.com 400k file for testing. On GSM/Edge I got 50Kbps. Which I thought was unusuall as 1G users were reporting 200kbps and I confirmed that on my tilt. Oh well I use wifi at home and work to do any real downloading (Wifi Toggle App is great if you have a jailbroken iPhone)

Very interesting article. If I am reading the article correctly, the iPhone is supposed to switch between 3G and EDGE depending upon signal strength. Question: Can it switch networks in the middle of a call? If not, that might explain some of my problems (start the call in strong 3G area but drive to weak 3G area and it cannot transfer to EDGE). If it can switch in the middle of a call, then perhaps problems (dropped calls) are being caused by the hand-off between the 3G network and the EDGE network.

The statement about the 3G being defective, though, has me a bit worried, especially if the defect cannot be cured by a firmware upgrade (as cited by Windsor in the article).

So, who's telling the truth here?
