A 3G phone (Third generation) is able to take advantage of faster download speeds than previous generation phones (2.5g/2g). 3G allows for phone download speeds of up to 14 Mb/s, much faster than the previous standard 2.5g.
3G will allow your phone to access content that a 2G phone would not be designed for. For example, it will allow you to quickly and seamlessly download music, surf the web, check email, etc. Whilst all this is possible in 2G, because of download speed limits it is not exactly viable.

What is sprint 3G service? If the icon for 3G Service comes up on your phone and allows you to access Facebook, are you being charged? I never used to be able to get on the Internet from my phone because it’s not in our plan, but will they charge us because it just started allowing access up out of the blue? My phone is a Rumor, if that info helps. Thanks if anyone can answer this.

My current contract on my phone expires in June, and they usually offer me a discount on a new phone if I agree to a contract extension. I would like to upgrade to an i-phone. Should I buy an inexpensive $99 refurbished one now or wait and see what kind of discount I get on the new (much more expensive) i-phone (3rd edition) that comes out this summer?

I thought it was 3 gigabytes gueess not lol

Will the old phones still work with the network or will t mobile tell everyone to get a new 3g phone?
