Re: iPhone 3G...
7.2 is 2x as many bits per Hz as 3.6, so a 3.6 device is spectrally inefficient and could actually slow down a tower.
That aside, backhaul is a bigger issue.
Lastly, the old iPhone is 7.2 and HSUPA compatible. Not that the HSPA 7.2 side of things matters yet, but HSUPA puts latency in line with EvDO or maybe a little above. |

Golden, CO | Actually, if you look around the chipset on the original 3G supports 7.2. The only thing faster about the 3Gs is the processor; while that's a huge boost the original 3G is still compatible with AT&T's fastest network speed. |
