Hey – you’re talking about a device without a replaceable battery. About a company that is the # 1 seller of music – through a proprietary iTunes program – yet provides no easy way to backup your music to anything but a CD/DVD.

No way the iPhone gets any major speed update as is without the carrier goosing the EDGE rates at the tower.
