Sure, their data rates using EV-DO might be quite fast. But to comsumers around the world, 3G means streaming video clips (not downloading clips, that can be done with GPRS), and more importantly, video calling.... Does Telecom have that? No... IMO, "Push 2 Talk" is not 3G either. What's more, their ads are misleading as well. I distinctly remember this little boy saying on the ad "I want to see my mommy talking on the phone". And instead of video calling, all the boy did was see a picture of his mother. How is that talking on the phone???? Anyway, on another point, my 3G phone is eager and waiting for Vodafone 3G to go live	jesseycy (1046)

On a side note I was looking at some vodaphone mobiles today and they are not that great to look at. Only a few flip-top ones that I liked. Telecom ones had lots more nicer looking ones like silver etc. Is it just me or do Nokias look like absolute crap?	vapo (5203)
351520	2005-05-02 12:24:00	Yeah.Vodafone said they were planning to release 3G at the start of this year but they still haven't released it yet.I've sold plenty of 3g mobiles at trademe.Nokia 6630,6680 and sony ericsson z1010.Everything is just so slow with vodafone !!!
