General->network->turn off 3G on an unbroken iPhone
You forgot to lanuch the settings.app first. And also to swipe to the corrsponding home screen. There are a total of nine of them. If you are on the 9th and your settings app is on the first, you have to swipe eight times first.
In short, it takes 4 to 12 steps to toggle 3G and we have all the hype about simplicity of iPhone. On Android, all the toggles are just one touch away. Yeah! It is complicated!

IFans really need to come out of denial.
Yeah that settings icon is hard to find. The amount of "steps" it takes is about equal to any control panel. Takes me less than a second. I thought fandroids loved complexity. Now I gave no idea what a android phone would take to turn off 3G, but it's probably more necessary to turn it off to bump up the battery life from 2-3 hours. Although you would probably have to turn off networking to get the 3 hours.
What many of you don't understand is that resellers (radioshack, best buy) get higher commission and profits when selling non apple products. Pretty sure it's the same in corporate stores too, you ever see anyone at a verizon store push an iPad or a iPhone, they'd rather sell you a galaxy tab and go on about how it's better.

If that is the case then Apple need to match the commission.
There are conflicting rumours (nothing official from anybody in a position to make an official statement) that the next iPhone will either be:
- Delayed until Apple's FY2012 (which would put it some time after September 25, 2011, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's delayed until calendar year 2012, because Apple's fiscal year does not line up with the calendar year), or
- Released in June 2011 -- not at the WWDC according to rumour, but later in the month.
We don't know which (if either) of these rumours are true, but both of them allow for the next generation of iPhone to be released within the 2011 calendar year.

Quick question for those who have huge respect for ease of use of iOS:
how easy is it to toggle 3G on/off on an iPhone? I'm sure it is a one touch "easy" step!
Easy... Just swipe, then tap... SBSettings on jailbroken iPhone. Try it sometime.
This time, iPhone is not going to be updated till 2012 so your argument is moot.
Right...

Another UI fail.

The iPhone will be updated this year.
