Whether the iPhone has disabled 3G inside it or not, what’s true right now is that for mobile use you’re generally stuck with EDGE.  I can’t imagine there’s any iPhone owner who wouldn’t take advantage of a free WiFi hotspot whether they could, and now there’s apparently a really simple way to find what’s available within range.
