3G

Using a 3G network is supposed to be spectacular.  Remember all the hype when the iPhone 3G was being released?  Well 3G actually stands for 3rd generation.

To keep it simple and not get technical, when your device indicates you are running on your carriers 3G network (a little 3G symbol appears on your home screen) your cellular speeds will be faster.  Streaming entertainment and video functions will improve.  So don't freak out when 3G shows up on your phone.  This is a good thing!
