    No, not for a while. Give the networks time to sort themselves out.

    And looking at the current shower we have here, that could take until the release of 4G...

    Good idea for a thread, but like doodle_sketch, I might just wait a month to see the networks sort themselves out.

    But I have a 3G phone anyway... The Nec v616e ... I just need to get unlocked... :rolleyes:

    I will buy a 3G phone but not until all the networks are up and running.
    Vodafone is the only network that will be operational before christmas. When the others are up and running then the competition will start.

    I look forward to getting a hold of a 3G handset to play with, especially around the area of using it for remote access.

    I trialled one such handset with Vodafone, sitting in a car having near-broadband (bracing for flames) speed was fantastic, even using a VPN client into a corporate was very impressive.

    Laptop/PDA cards are all well and good, but a bit of a pain since you have to have an additional SIM, tried a samsung which connected via USB and even charged off the laptop, nice...

    As an aside, Cant wait for the first publicly recorded sighting of someone wandering around town with the phone two feet in front of them on a video call.....that and the time it takes for them to be mugged for being a showoff :)
