Aside from my joke, to me honestly having the 3g is important. I live  
in NYC one would think oh tons of wifi, maybe, but not really, and not  
when you need it. The reason I want connectivity on my phone is not to  
access it at home or work or at a friends house*. It's to use on the  
go, hey I'm in a store and want to check a review, or best price, or  
look up a recipe, or a movie, get directions, check an email, figure  
out the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, or you get the point.  
At this point the internet is so full of good stuff that it has become  
the "other" part of our brain, the phone is just a little screen that  
I carry around to access that database, and I want it on demand.

*Was at my girlfriends place the other day and her mom was visiting.  
She got a call that a cat she was cat sitting somehow got caught up in  
sticky cricket traps all over and had to be taken to the vet. The vet  
was concerned that the cat might be poisoned and wanted to know the  
brand of trap it was to treat the cat properly. Her mom only knew it  
by the look of the box and my girlfriend does not have an internet  
connection yet. So we did a quick google shopping search on the iPhone  
and found the trap with-in seconds!**

The iPhone saved that cute and adorable cats life!

Windows mobile hates cats.


**would have been microseconds on 3G
