As 3G takes hold, better devices (and support for those devices) will follow.

That's all by far the silliest thing I've ever heard. 3G phones can drop back to EDGE when they lack a 3G signal. The only reason Apple didn't put 3G on the iPhone is because they could come out with a new one in a year and everyone would buy it. No company in the world is better at marketing and getting people to buy brand new products rather than sticking with whatever works.
