There are some doubts about AT&T’s new updates to the 3G network being able to withstand the data-sucking force that will be the new 3G-enabled iPhone. iPhone users are reported to use twice as much bandwidth as regular smartphone users, and now they will be able to do so in almost any heavily populated [...]
