I agree 100%. From airports to coffee shops, there are free wifi spots everywhere. Not to mention that the "old" Edge network isn't really THAT slow for most uses. For things like weather or maps it works just fine.
Besides, what's "good" about the iPhone has nothing to do with data transfer rates or other things you can measure via numbers. It's just a well designed device with a great interface, period. And when you're dealing with devices that pack nearly the same punch as a fullblown PC but are the size of your hand, user interface and ergonomics become EXTREMELY important. I can tell you from personal experience that the iPhone is so far ahead of Windows based phones in those areas that they're not even comparable. Like I mentioned above, I used to think that my Windows smartphone was pretty awesome, until I tried an iPhone.
