AFAIK, 3G has 3 "standards" that are authorized. Are handsets from these 3 interoperable? The 3 standards I'm talking about are EGDE, UMTS, and WCDMA... I don't know if there are any more "standards" out there..but I'm getting a deja vu with the whole AMPS, D-AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, and E-TACS "standard" war.
Do all 3G handsets work across all 3G networks? Kinda stupid if they don't.
First of all, EDGE is not a 3G, it's a new feature in GSM networks.
WCDMA and UMTS are usually understand as a same. Radio access technology used in UMTS is WCDMA.

Huge size, low functionality, very low talk time, and not chep tarrifs, the tarrifs are cheap but offer much more that normal people ask for
1000 for £70 that cheap comparing to orange 700. but it's way too much if you oly use 200minutes and expect to pay £30
phones are expensive aswell,

I was more pointing to the tariffs than the phones,yeah they are ugly things,and they ar'nt SE.But MMS is the cheapest i've seen at 25p each but it would be good if they did half the KIT for £30,then i think they would get more subscribers!
As for the CABOODLE! Who's gonna pay £100 a month!!!!!!!!
