Hi there!
I'm in Argentina, in a town with no 3g network (at least with my provider).

I wanted to know what features doesn't work without a 3g network (but i have gsm and wifi instead)

Thanks!

Everything will probably work, only will it work slower. I hope for you they have EDGE there, or maybe GPRS, because with GSM only it will be dead slow!

What I don't get is:
Do I need my provider for a data link using EDGE or GPRS (for data transfer)?
or can I just do the same using the internet via wifi?

Edge and GPRS via my cellphone provider means i have to pay every Kb I'm using
Wifi means Kb for free.

You can do the same with WiFi (and a lot faster of course ), but with wifi ofcourse you can't use the online stuff on the move.

I'm fine with EDGE currently. Nothing I really can argue about.

All I need now is to buy an unlocked G1, send it over to Maryland where a firend lives, and wait for him to come over for christmas
Searching...

Thanks again!

Same here, I've been using EDGE with no problems what-so-ever. However I hear that Denver is going to be one of the next markets to get the 3G service, so I have a feeling after that, I won't be able to go to EDGE. :p
