I can't see wi-fi being very useful on a phone. Most networks in my area are protected and those that are not are at my work and my house. And I have an MSI Wind for that. 3G on the other hand is useful on a train/bus or in the car especially if you like streaming internet radios like me.

Anybody know if you can tether the new iphone 3g as a modem? Last I heard you had to hack it... too many hacks...

Phone scoop:
I mentioned the nifty cursor mode, although of course there's also a more typical mode where you drag your finger to pan, click to choose a link, etc. A quick touch (rather than a click) toggles full-screen mode. Like the iPhone, a double-tap zooms in intelligently, fitting whatever you tapped on to the full width of the screen. In general, the browser interface is great, and it renders pages well.

Unfortunately, it does none of this quickly. Pages were slow to load and render, and zoom/pan operations were slow and jerky. This ruined what would have otherwise been a pleasurable surfing experience.
