It's been stated plenty of times. 3g coverage is poor in the US through AT&T. Those that argue differently either a) live in a 3g area, or b) travel to the major cities that have coverage.
Anyone living in the outskirts of a major metropolitan area have a 50/50 shot of using it, and it goes downhill from there.
Edge might not be the fastest network, but it is one of the most widely covered in the US. That's one of the main reasons Apple went with AT&T (plus the fact that they are a GPM network)
As far as GPS is concerned, for "true" GPS, you have to pay an additional fee for a supported phone to use it. With the My location feature on the next version of Firmware coming up, this is hardly anything to write home about, unless AT&T somehow miraculously doesn't charge for GPS service for the new iPhones...
So far, the 2 biggest hype points of the next iPhone version are batting .000
