Small self-correction: TI Calypso doesn't even do EDGE, just plain ~60kbit/s GPRS.

When I'm using it on my Neo Freerunner to browse the web sometimes, I'm using links in X11 mode So while it might be somewhat usable for some hardcore nerds like us, it's definitely no-go for their target audience. I seriously can't imagine someone using their new, shiny Ubuntu Edge with Qt Quick and HTML5 based interface with fancy animations to browse the web in the console because anything else is just too slow :P

(and I suppose the same applies to future Neo900 owners, even if the overall "shininess" will be a bit lower there)
