...then you'd take it. We know South Africans love free stuff. Back to MTN, when I used their free GPRS hardly experienced problem...on average downloaded 80kb items on my trusty old T300 ...but if I had to download 1Mb files on their network don't know...one thing I do is I'd have to have bags of money.

On the contrary,some phones are manufactured in Europe.
Nokia is in Finland
Ericsson is in Sweden

@Alpha001: Next time you remove your battery It will most likely say your phone was either made in China or Indonesia. Nokia might be from Finland and Ericsson from Sweden but they haven't made phones there for years. This message was posted from a K700i

When you've got about 250k new users on your network you would get problems. This message was posted from a K700i

@ Tahir In one of your previous posts you state Vodafone to have more UMTS subscriber then GSM ! Can you give us a link ? Where did you get that from ? All what I could find on the net was that Vodafone only began rolling out UMTS on a grand scale as from last year.I know you have made in the past some 'dubious revelations' but this really border to ridicule.

LOL....Tahir is a salesman first, so he's trying to convince everyone and perhaps himself that 3G is the equivalent of cellular Nirvana. Vodafone only started 3G in November last year and already everyone on their network decided to ditch their GSM handsets for a trustry UMTS handset...LOL

Anyone considering getting 3G should wait until the dust has settled and the hype died down.

@Rhino: December won't be too bad, hopefully prices would've come down, MTN would've launched their service, and number portabality would make changing networks all that easier.

Vodafone UK had 3G since the last quarter of 2003.In 2003 they were selling the mobile connect card only in Nov 04 they had a range of phones.If you want to wait for MTN to launch 3G it might even be early 2006.I know MTN promsed us 3G this coming JUNE,they also promised us EDGE.But MTN is keeping so quiet and no EDGE.By 2006 Vodacom will almost have the whole country covered with 3G.
