A few things about iPhone 3G speeds

iPhone 3G’s abilities, true cost of device
We all know that the 3G iPhone is going to be fast, and that it will be running on AT&T's HSDPA network. There are varying levels of HSDPA speed though, and in all fairness as opposed to overseas deployments, AT&T has a very slow network.
