This phone doesnt have 3g. I use 3g alot with 3 for emails/internet etc. I have to go to Manchester for work for a bit and scouting out a few phones. TMobile do this phone with unlimited internet access. How slow/good would the internet access be on this?

Edge is nearly as good as 3g, so should be fine.
