I have, until now, mostly used GPRS, but since I have recently bought a V800, I shall probably be using UMTS more now.

EDGE is non-existent in the UK, indeed most , if not all, of Western Europe does not have EDGE. The networks in Western Europe have invested very heavily in 3G and I don't see it being very likely that they will want to implement anything that will compete with 3G.

@Scots: On your 3g network, can you browse any sites freely or are restricted to your network provider's portal/site?

@AYA

I can browse the internet as far the V800's xhtml broswer will allow. It is only 3, which restricts their customers to their own portal.

@Scots: Interesting. I am of the opinion that the 3g networks stand to reap more benefits by removing such restrictions. What do you think? Then besides WAP/web on the phone, I assume you can also use your 3g platform for laptop/PC connectivity et al? This message was posted from a P800

We have a CDMA2000 1x network here now offering data cards allowing you to access data/internet on their platform in connectivity with your laptop. Unfortunately, the acquisition cost is on the high end. Would have loved to explore that. This message was posted from a P800

To a large extent, pricing influences how well people take up data. MTN-nigeria offered WAP over CSD for years (at the regular exhorbitant voice tarriffs) and people just kept away. Recently, Glo introduced WAP over GPRS at a much more comfortable price and people use it everyday! As a matter of fact, GPRS and lower data costs are 2 strong reasons lots of people I know cross-over to Glo. I did too. This message was posted from a P800
