SLIDESHOW: Aussies suffer slowest iPhone data speeds

Six common complaints about the iPhone 3G including dropped calls, slow data and MobileMe follies

Slow data speeds While it's admittedly silly to sue Apple over slow iPhone 3G data speeds, this has been one of the most common complaints about the device since its release. A recent survey conducted by Wired Magazine has found that the speed of the iPhone 3G varies significantly from carrier to carrier, and that devices' slow data speeds in some areas may have much more to do with the quality of the 3G network they're running on than with the devices itself. T-Mobile, which offers the iPhone 3G in Germany, offered the fastest average data speeds at 1,822 Kbps, while iPhone 3G users in Australia experienced the slowest speeds at 759Kbps.
