The 3G iPhone goes on sale tomorrow. I note that since I received at least one e-mail telling it was already available; sure Mr. Pogue has one, but not any regular folks. One of Pogue's (and other's) issues is that the 3G for fast access is not widespread. Before you stand in line, check out the
coverage map. The data is as of 5/31/08. I'm surprised the map's not been updated for the launch. (Not sure how Silicon Alley Insider got
newer maps.) The app and/or the data seems to be from ESRI.
Note that you need to check a box in the legend (below the map) when in the voice option (default, above the map) to view the 3G coverage.
