No 3G for GTA03, 2G/EDGE only?

Sorry I didn't make it clearer, but what I find so surprising is that
the GSM subsystem IS being changed but the opportunity to upgrade to
3G is not being taken. Raster said "just different gsm subsystem
(2g/edge)".

If it were being kept identical to GTA02 to keep changes to a minimum
it would not sound crazy.

This makes the decision seem much more reasonable, thank you. Very sad
news though.
