SAN FRANCISCO--On the eve of the Apple iPhone's sale, the top executives of Apple and AT&T defended their decision to rely upon AT&T's slow EDGE wireless data network, rather than a faster network that is less widely available.

Early reviews of the iPhone, while positive, have faulted the slower network because it will limit the palm-size wireless computer's greatest strength--making the Internet easily accessible on the go.
