Wait for it, 5G will be available before 10% of the UK gets 4G..
Whoa whoa, what the fuck O2? The iPhone 5 isn't 4G compatible.. Guess I'll be switching to EE then..
It probably is compatible, it's just that EE probably have a contract with Apple or something.

No, iPhone 5 can't do LTE on 800MHz which is what O2 is using. It supports 1800MHz which is what EE uses
Personally I'm most interested in 3's 4G launch because they've said they won't charge extra for it
I really dont understand this whole network G stuff. I understand that 2G<3G<4G but really, its like every year they come out with a new one before anyone gets full coverage on the last one

each generation is advertised as a shitload faster than the last but then (from the middle-end of its lifespan) a lot of people use it at once and it's only marginally faster then its predecessor

They certainly don't come out every year, they come out every ten years. 2G came out in 1991, 3G came out in 2001, and 4G is the new spec that we will be using until the early 2020s
In reality, they're umbrella/marketing terms for various technologies. 2G generally means GSM or 2G CDMA; 3G means UMTS or CDMA-2000; 4G means LTE or WiMAX
