Why does anyone need wifi when it has 3G, especially on a smartphone? I have had several phones with both and almost never connect to wifi. It always takes too long to connect, when 3G is just "there".

You need wi-fi even with a 3g phone. Why. sometimes the 3g/GPRS signal is down. There is no 3g/gprs signal. And wifi is the only option.
