An interesting pickup...and one that will probably matter to a lot more Americans than Apple would like.

Pumped about those blazing-fast 3G Internet speeds? Hope you don't live in beautiful Bozeman, Montana; Burlington, Vermont; or Des Moines, Iowa. Those are just a few places where your new iPhone will download Web pages just as slow as the old one did -- because AT&T hasn't set up its 3G network there yet.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/7/apple-iphone-att-3g-dead-zones"><P>Where <EM>can</EM> you get 3G service? Anywhere marked highlighted in blue in the map below. (Surprisingly sparse, even to those of us who think about this stuff every day.) No need to panic -- you'll still be able to get on the Internet in most fairly developed, non-3G places, just at much slower "EDGE" speeds. We can confirm, for instance, that AT&T's network will let you surf the Web from your iPhone if you happen to be on <A href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sunset%20lake%20michigan&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wl">Sunset Lake</A> in Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula. But why would you want to? It's gorgeous up there. Turn off your phone!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/7/apple-iphone-att-3g-dead-zones"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.alleyinsider.com/img/4807E2F1-8F99-4ECC-BF85-D9B0C47B9B62" alt="att-3g-map-small-left.gif" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/7/apple-iphone-att-3g-dead-zones"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.alleyinsider.com/img/03B02423-D0F9-4C62-AEAB-93AD8AAD2F02" alt="att-3g-map-small-right.gif" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EBE6D399-0208-411E-BC0B-1A9F22F547B2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
