I whip out my A780 and browse the net/read e-mail/update remote todo lists/ssh into my home network nearly everywhere I go. I use my phone's EDGE capabilities while riding across Texas to the next family event. I use it to check my personal e-mail during downtimes at work (restrictions against doing that on company computers). I do the same while waiting for kids sporting events to start or at the dentist's office. I pull it out after band practice in the middle of nowhere to check my family's Google calendars for potential conflicts.
As it is, I don't use Wifi much (of course, I don't have it on my phone yet). There are very few free places to use it around here, and their ranges are rather limited. Traveling at 75 mph down a highway means hotspots come and go in a few seconds, so that's not even a potential problem solver for me. So, I will vote for 3G, but if a new board is being designed, it only makes sense to go for the next big thing. Remember, it takes a year or more to get one of these out to market, so the real question will be: how will you use your mobile phone a year from now. --Mark Arvidson
