Accessing the internet via WiFi should be much faster than via 3G. If not, then you probably have WiFi Multimedia (WMM) activated on the WiFi router. This is a Quality of Service (QOS) feature that prioritizes traffic, but for some reason, it severly chokes download speeds to the iPhone (and possibly other mobile devices as well).
To turn it off, log into your wireless router, and look for QOS under the wireless settings. It may be called WMM or 802.11e.
The iPhone 2G is much slower than the iPhone 3G.
iPhone 3g is capable of 3g access, but not iPhone 1st generation. However, some areas do not have 3g coverage, so iPhone will automatically switch to EDGE. iPhone 1st generation only has EDGE and Wifi, and iPhone 3g has EDGE, 3g, and WIFI.
No you do not need WIFI to use the iPhone. The iPhone works with either 3G or WIFI. Some apps require WiFi to download or run depending on their size. I find wifi works best though and is faster. YouTube videos are extreemly clear and crisp with wifi.
If you have wifi
Well you would using the Edge network not the 3G so yes It would be a bit slower.
You are referring to 3G. Yes it is capable of doing everything that WiFi is capable of. You need to get a 3G plan from your service carrier.
It has always had internet. Edge now 3G or WiFi.
Why not? It is almost the same as an iPhone 4 but just a tad slower
Yes, you can use your iPhone 3G(S) to access the Internet if you have an available WiFi connection.
Alrite. First of all,China does not have iPhone 3g..it is most likely a fake clone iPhone that is freaking slow..The only china city that sells the actual iPhone is Shanghai..it is exactly like the American iPhone 3g,but it is slower
Yes, very good Wi-Fi/Edge. The 3G & 3Gs have Wi-Fi/Edge/3G
Yeah, it does but the 3g speed is to slow.
