Always wait for something better. ALWAYS.
The Macalope has been hit-or-miss lately, but this article was spot-on. I especially appreciated this:
My god, people act like EDGE is some blight on the human condition like polio or something, as if there were no trade-offs to be made that 3G was simply better. It’s not.
I’m glad someone is saying this. EDGE isn’t anywhere near as bad as tech-writers want everyone to think it is. I use it daily, and it works just fine.
