While the iPhone’s EDGE capabilities appear to be slow, it’s rendering of web pages makes up for difference in speed between EDGE and 3G. Here is a video of the iPhone on EDGE, and a Nokia E61i on 3G. You can clearly see that both of their loading bars end at around the same time, with the iPhone finishing before the E61i loading eBay. If the iPhone had 3G, it would blow all other 3G devices away in website loading times.
