what do you use 3G for, regular browsing? and what do you use edge for that takes forever? answer honestly because I use edge for regular browsing and indeed it's workable and that's the key word that gprs used "workable" if I want superfast speeds I can always switch to wifi or use my PC...

Ok Cultis put it dis way... For ova 3 years Digicel has been testing and launching 3G handsets and their network is 2.5G ONLY....Now dat just dont make any sense wat so eva......Because 3G has betta voice quality and much more dat we always complaining about and needing.... Now dem c Claro and LIME going 3G and dem still insisting it is not di way 2 go..... Di berry 8900 is a fantastic handset yes because of its superior screen (pixel) and form factor.......But that alone just doesnt cut it.... Rite now in dis economic time it is about Value for money....Di Javelin wid no 3G is just not cutting it....

I agree with Cultus as I have seen tremendous improvements in Digicel's EDGE network since recently even to the point where it feels like wifi or maybe it is because I am on the BOLD....Anyways the lag times have improved and I am no longer pushed to use up my Edge service after 12am which was the time when it usually felt like true EDGE.
Hence this slow EDGE your complaining about maybe limited to your current location, curious where exactly are you located Madcats?
Post your reply.

Poobear put it this way, I dont need a 3G phone right now, because frankly I personally dont use 3G or see the need for 3G in my life right now. I am sure there are many others who will support my view. Frankly if you see the need for 3G, then shun the Javelin and Get The Bold... I can't make it any clearer than that. RIM knows that there is a market out there for the Javelin hence why they made it, and I love it along with many others. The Storm lacks wifi, but there is still a market out there for it. Just don't bash the Javelin because it fails to suit your needs. That's something even I have recently been programming myself not to do. Once someone owns it, it has a purpose ...

I've seen rumors on the net of a 3G Javelin coming soon...I'm sure RIM will release one. Its just unfair though, because these guys can give us that near perfect device, but they wont, because they have to continue sucking all our pennies from us, with these incremental releases and updates....ahhh well they are in this to make money so I can't blame them. I would do the same thing too.
