So we know that the iPhone 3G has download speeds that are 2.4x faster than the EDGE connection found on the previous version of the phone. While this is all good and well, we're still curious why the download speed for the iPhone is capped at 1.4Mbps down when AT&T's 3G HSDPA network is fully capable of 3.6Mbps down. Thankfully, ...

I'm really not sure how the world functioned before the internet. My guess is trade secrets and internal memos were actually kept secret for the most part. These days, however, it seems that everything is public knowledge within a short amount of time. A new leaked memo found by The Boy Genius from AT&T shows us a few of the ...

The iPhone 3G is twice as fast as the first-gen iPhone, yet only half the price. You're probably wondering if you'll be able to tether the iPhone 3G (tethering: using it as a cellular modem for laptops - a service AT&T and other carriers offer for many phones on the market) to your laptop.

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. This will of course limit speed the iPhone can achieve here, but just how fast ...

Well we already knew that the new iPhone would be launching on July 11th. What we did not know is what time of the day it would be launching. Well, they guesses are coming in, and 6PM sounds like the winner. That is because last year at launch day, the original iPhone launched at 6PM in Apple and AT&T stores ...

Some of the questions I have seen circulating around, and some I had in my mind. So hear is the answer to some of the questions, courtesy of Brad Mays, AT&T PR.

If the keynote left you hungry, and the hands-on feedback just made you want even more, perhaps the latest batch of AT&T information will go some way to fill the spot. On the one hand there's AT&T's official press release, which confirms the new, higher $30/month 3G data charge. On the other, there's a leaked internal memo fresh from carrier ...

AT&T is hiring some workers to take temporary positions at AT&T stores. The listing says from June 16th to August 16th, the temporary workers will have jobs. This is not unique to AT&T, surprisingly enough. Last year, in anticipation of the original iPhone, AT&T did the same thing, so that there would be no shortage of help to push the ...

Well another week of iPhone news has gone by. This week has been somewhat slow compared to what we usually see. Quit possibly because everyone is counting down the days to WWDC. That's because we are hearing rumors that the 3G iPhone will not be the only thing Apple is going to awe us with at the event.
