@brix25...Vodacom is trying to launch super 3G hopefully by the end of the year. That means speeds of up to 2Mb/s! We have experienced up to 1Mb/s in Vodaworld, which means Vodacom is definitely testing it and playing around with it.

@brix25 & Rhino8:
My phone only reset once when i was typing an sms, although i have to say i think that was my fault.
@clara not being 3g:
I'll live...i think the specs are perfect for me, and there is only one person i would actually like to see in a video conference call.(I have a tendency to pull faces when people annoy me over the phone.
@K700i improvements:
Memory card is the only thing i can think of.
Maybe push to talk.
@all:
Buying goods through your phone using gprs and bluetooth...your thoughts.(ie: never needing a wallet again...and yes i know security on a phone would have to be increased.)

if im not mistaken isnt 384k/s the fastest, and it doesnt even get to 384kb/s... even with the data card...

@786KBR...Nah mate 256kb/s ain't the fastest... HSDPA otherwise known as Super 3G is intended to compete with WiMax technology which will eventally launch in SA in the near future... WiMax works like WiFi but can cover a 50km radius.

@KBR...sorry about that, my bad. Don't know about anyone being 5 years behind considering that most European operators only switched on their 3G networks late last year...in the US they don't have a UMTS network running although CDMA2000 is widespread.

@Rick ...thanks
mate got ur pm.
@KBR786: It took government less time to hand out 3G licences than what it took in Europe. Right now the technology is still in beta phase...so Super 3G should launch later this year.
