3G max's at 2Mb. That is one terminal using bandwidth in a controlled test setting. 4 "phones" wouldn't work on an 8mbit hub. Attenuation and other laws of physics would restrict it to maybe 3. Probably 2 in the best conditions. That is assuming a "phone" can pull 2Mbps. which won't happen.
Take a look at WLAN connection speeds that are advertised vs. real, especially with multiple users and see what the difference is.
Point being, if you are just looking for access, not major downloading, uploading. EV-DO from Verizon will work fine, assuming they have it in your coverage area. It is still better than 56k through AOL.. God forbid!!!
Thank you for being the only one to point this out.... Either short songs, or short attention spans. With the phone churn of Nokia products, I would go with the later...

BTW, I have dropped my iPod many a time while songs are playing and it works great. Doesn't even miss a beat (to sound cliche)
