Everyone.
I have to agree with Brad here. Wifi has other uses too!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants/needs
In the time since Openmoko originally announced it's phone without 3G
support and now, as the Freerunner is approaching release, it has
become more of an issue that it does not have 3G (how much of an issue
we can debate, certainly).
So please, *please* bear in mind that when talking about the nex

It shouldn't be treated like an either-or for wifi and 3g. The phone

As a US resident, 3G is pretty useless to me. Mostly because it costs
AT LEAST an additional $30 a month to utilize it. I'm also not sure
it's available in my area.
WiFi, on the other hand, is free when it's available (which is
admittedly scarce in some areas).

I'd happily trade wifi for 3G. Well, that is... Until Openmoko begins
offering a wifi service for under $20 a month that allows me to do
streaming internet radio in my car. :) Wifi is worthless with 110 mile

If you ask me: drop wifi, add hsdpa. But nobody asks me. :(
Wimax won't be of any relevance for mobile devices in the future, so no need
to deal with it.
I think it's too early to talk about LTE yet, let's stay with what we have:
HSDPA.
Phase 4 is coming, means up to 10 mbit/s gross (maybe 8 mbit/s
