Remove the iPhone and the bandwidth is not so constrained. Part of what makes the iPhone so cool makes it hard on the network, that is that the iPhone is online 100% of the time. When it is used to actively search the web it uses more bandwidth than other devices in order to get its performance. If someone else had the iPhone it would be just as hard on their network as it is on AT&T's. The real issue is with Apple and their design. They could have made it more efficient on the network like others do, they just chose not to.

Multi-media is a bandwith hog... but all the smartphones do that now.

I would think the WORST bandwith phone On a 24 hour basis would be the BIS or BES blackberries.

Thats non-stop 24 hours a day......



The new Sense Driven HTCs are non stop as well


The New htc Androids Sync nonstop all day with Flicker/facebook. So thats nonstop media wether you wanted it or not.

Blackberries are actually very efficient with how they pull data- they strip all email of their formatting so you've only got 1-2kb messages

The Sense UI just transfers little bits and pieces of information, again, 1-2kb maybe every minute, vs. 4MB/minute
