What are you trying to say? Isn't the new iPhone 3G is 3G? Fast data transfer is what you call 3G in mobile phone and they did came up with 3G capabilities with iPhone.

With this mirror method, first generation iPhone also can video call in the sense... but it won't happen on both generations. tongue.gif

This is one thing people especially malaysian misunderstood about 3G.

For them, 3G = video call, a 3G phone with no front camera is not a good phone.

Where as, 3G = faster connection and data transfer. Video call is only one of the funtionality that takes advantage from the faster connection it provide compare to EDGE/GPRS. To say apple don't have the means for vid call would be not true. Who know whats under their sleeve for the next iPhone version. Its just a marketing strategy, if apple give everything to us then people wont upgrade to new iPhone version. First they give EDGE, then people said its slow. They come out with a new phone with 3G and a lot of people are planning to upgrade. After this what else will they roll-out so to keep us upgrading/changing the phone. This is also to show that they improve the hardware and the software. Imagine if they put everything inside, they can only wow us with cosmetic changes and software upgrade. Then they can't wow us with new 'innovation'.

Just my 2 cents.

Well actually iPhone 3G capable of HSDPA. For them, 3G is the generation like EDGE is 2.5G while HSDPA is the protocol. iPhone 3G is capable of HSDPA 3.6mbps but AT&T capped it at only 1.4mbps. HSDPA = 3.5G.

i know the fact that 3g network is a fast connection of data transfer. but having the video call function can really utilise that connection rite. not just for surfing web/download
whats the problem with putting everything inside? so u like buying new phones everytime 1 new feature is added?
u must be rich eh.so next generation iphone will be
"iphone 3g with video call" after that
"iphone 3g video call + camera with flash"
"iphone 3g video call + camera with flash + a2dp bluetooth"
