Comments
They didn't phrase this very well. I think they meant that, after the next few months, they will only sell smartphones that are 3G enabled.

irresponsible statement by the CEO
coming form the highest authority of the co, that statement seems very irrersponsible.
Does that means a 3 G iphone in months ?? how many months ? No Apple confirmation of any 3 G version yet.

AT&T accidentally announced the 3G iPhone a while ago, much to Apple's consternation.
Quick Question
does this mean that my iPhone will work on 3G? Or is this only for upcoming devices? That might be dumb, sorry.
i mean the question might be dumb.
...
It sounds like the article is saying current 2g phones will be 3g phones so I see the confusion.
...
How many months?
Not big on specifics, are they?
I hope it's sooner rather than later--I really want a Blackberry with 3G.

I'm guessing Summer, June/July.
Personally I'm looking forward to aircards doing speeds better than 2mbps.

Sprint already has announced a fast blackberry.

3G will be rolled out in most mid-major markets in a couple of months!
Then, when it's not rolled out in a couple of months, it'll be a couple months from then. You get the idea? It's always just a couple of months away. If you live in a town ...

hahahaha poor customers
so the biggest boy is catchn up on tech comp has been using for a while...feel bad for all those customers who ran in there to get the iphone on an edge network, ouchhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! 🙂
Ebay will soon be flooded with Edge flavored iphones.
Months...
Within Months...What 12 months, 24 months, or 120 months???
Just typical marketing jargon with meaningless information. With Sprint and Verizon all having 3G Blackberrys and Window Mobile devices already, AT&T is not breaking new grounds here!!!
We all know 3G iPhones are here (shortly), WM are already 3G, so what else are left that really matters??? 3G Blackberrys on AT&T and poor 3G less T-Mobile.
Woohoo...

Not really a committment...
I would venture to say it will include only new devices. They can't scrap their entire lineup of 2G PDA's. I would put the date near the end of summer, beginning of fall.
Reasons:
1. The Centro just came out and I doubt they are going to drop money on marketing a dead device.
2. All the current BlackBerries would be obsolete overnight. The pearl 2 just came out and hasn't even made it to all stores yet.
3. The average life span of a PDA is about a year. This would cut that average time short substantially.
Just a note: They better get the extremely late 5700 out the door soon. It looks like a nice little entry level pda, but it's overdue by what, a year now?
