We're going to see 5G in the next 5-7 years... you think I'll stay on 3G for the purported 5-7 year lifespan of this 3G only device? Leaving out 4G (at least) defeats the purposes.
EDIT: Oh, and the phone HAS 4G, just not in the US.
I don't need 5G, but 3G is a bit too slow. I mean that's going back in time a decade (literally).
