If you ask me: drop wifi, add hsdpa. But nobody asks me. :(<br>Wimax won't be of any relevance for mobile devices in the future, so no need to deal with it.<br>I think it's too early to talk about LTE yet, let's stay with what we have: HSDPA.<br>
Phase 4 is coming, means up to 10 mbit/s gross (maybe 8 mbit/s net) and Phase 2 (about 2.8 mbit/s net in my personal tests) is pretty common and already used in some mobiles.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 3:03 PM, Tom Cooksey <<a href="mailto:thomas.cooksey@trolltech.com">thomas.cooksey@trolltech.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>Depends on what you mean by 3G? If you mean 3G as in HSPA then yes, it's<br>
a useful feature to have when out of range of WiFi, and it's got reasonable<br>
deployment (in the UK anyway... don't know about other countries).<br>
<br>
It also depends on timescales. Given the Freerunner should last us a few years,<br>
it might be better to see who wins out in the WiMAX vs LTE battle that's about<br>
to be waged and include the victor. (My money's on LTE BTW, certainly in the<br>
EU).<br>
