I dont think that i would be taking 3G anytime in the near future. Even though it sounds extremely tempting i'm happy with my EDGE. If i'm having good egprs coveage, i can get upto DSL speeds, which i feel is good enough. Ideally one could get upto 384 kbps (stop dreaming!!)
but with mobile office and my 9500, i get round about 150-175 kbps, which is also quite impressive. In short 3g is out for me, atleast for about 1.5-2 years.

airtel are just giving some b***s*** excuse for their shitty gprs service.
@debu, man.. they've been saying this for ages.
the thing is they've outsourced all their network and call centre operations to other vendors. (Nokia and IBM respectively).. so they don't care about things like gprs since they're making all their money out of voice revenue. their data services don't make so much money, so they're cutting costs and providing really awful service.
that's the main reason i shifted out of airtel a few months ago. the thing is they're taking all gprs customers for a ride, about the stories of 3G and all... its just crap.
so next time.. don't be so nice to the nice lady!!!

i sure wish those b****ds would improve their existing networks first.
Frequent signal loss when talking, shitty gprs, you have to call the cc number 50 times before you finally get through and sometimes those idiots have no idea what ur talking about !
! Their networks cant even handle loads at peak hours !

Hutch has frequent call drops that i have heard of corporates shifting to airtel. Consider loosing some 200 postpaid connection at once. :-) And they charge exorbitant rates. :-(
