I think mobile devices need integrated 3g:
- no dongles hanging - when I'm at home/office, I don't use a mobile device with small screen/keyboard, apart from emailing and low network tasks - no tethering: 3g gets too much battery, so I don't want to spend my phone call battery for data; phone is too important to waste the battery twittering or so ... - with a mobile device, network consumption is not very high, because it barely plays videos and battery runs out faster; for real downloading I'll always use dsl with a powered computer ... - 3g is getting real cheap, at least in europe: I have one special sim for 3g, 5euro/month for 500MB - nowadays even the cheapest phone is 3g enabled, come on, even if you don't use it, it should be already integrated, it doesn't add much to the cost. Isn't bluetooth and wifi already integrated, even some people may not use it? - I think I read like 1 month ago that wpa2 security was also at risk; there was a group working on rainbow method to decrypt; of course, though, there also exist 3g decrypting tools ... but the point is that the vast majority of people just use wep, like 90% of wifis are wep only, giving a false sense of security - internal 3g should be implemented with hot-pluggable sim, like the nokia booklet does, then you can easily plug the sim in the laptop or whatever other 3g device you want to use. I'm amazed that all phones you have to switch it off / remove the battery to change the sim; this is obviously a 'carrier-friendly feature' manufacturers don't want to change, to prevent sim swapping. I'm amazed people never complain about this; for me, the nokia booklet is a winner just for this feature |
