Just got an iPhone 4 yesterday, and I love it. However I can't really get my head around how facetime works. Does it only work on wifi, or can you use it on 3G? What about 'facetimeing' with a friend in the States (I'm in the UK), is it going to cost alot, or will it be free on wifi? Does it count as a call, or is it just data like skype would do?

Hopefully someone can answer my question

Wifi only, and it doesn't cost anything (since you are on wifi).
The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx

3G is possible if you jailbreak your phone, but if you do that you'll be eating into your data plan.

Also, the quality apparently sucks complete ass over 3G - which is why it's not enabled in the first place.
