this has been discussed extensively only a few weeks ago.
please, do us all a favour and check the archives before bringing up  
questions that are apparently obvious.
the more obvious a question is the more likely has it already been  
answered.

Is no 3g motived by hardware limitations , licensing problems, or a
decision from the silent and mysterious "design" department ?


I'm not a developer ATM machine, ie, I won't keep buying these devices
and developing on them if they never will have competetive hardware. I
Already bought the Freerunner thinking the hardware on a future device
will someday catch up to the current proprietary market. Now I
realized that is not going to happen. I can't figure out the
"evolution, not revolution" purpose of the GT03 , and now that GT04
won't have 3G , it makes me wonder who are going to buy these things.
My pockets and patience are not endless.

it serves the same for marketing as megapixels or horsepower. its a simple 
number that a customer can look at, compare and figure that "higher must be 
better"...

so, who is up for firebombing some marketing deps?

This is commonly mistaken, but:

2.5G = GSM with GPRS
2.75G = GSM with EDGE (=EGPRS)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5G and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution

Isn't that part of the idea behind the wiki? Things of course do change, and
should be updated accordingly.  I don't see that as being a reason why this
information couldn't be put there. Just put a disclaimer that things may
change and/or be out of date.

Yes. There will be a new 2.5G GSM  module (2.5G = GSM+EDGE).
Maybe this will solve the issues with newer sim cards.

I am not sure about the 2D/3D. I think it is just some talk - lets wait
and see. It will prob. take a few years until it gets available, and then
hopefully with something newer than 2.5G networks.

Maybe different shape on the device. GTA04 will be a totally redesigned
and improved GTA.
