The NextG network isn't that good.  Very expensive, for not really great performance.  And the 3.75G network is outdated before it is being implemented (bit like CDMA) as 4G networks are already being installed in other parts of the world and the 3.75G network is barely getting a look at by most telecommunications companies around the world (hence only 4 models of phones in the world being able to use it).[/rant]

Anyway, the phone is only GSM capable atm and is soon to have 3g capabilities soon too.  The main reason behind the late shipping is because of a deal between apple and Cingular (an American telecommunication company) from what I can tell.
