I use 3g, it is great when it comes to data. The tv and contents stuff are very and not worth it.
I like the video calling.

I use a z800i on 3g with maxis here .. Service for 3g on them just starting in my area. So far just use the video calling and the faster data rate is nice as well. I dont bother with the tv as have plenty of movies on mem stick.

No, I don't have a 3G phone. I don't need it. I'm satisfied with my good old T68i
Perhaps I would consider to buy a 3G phone, if it was a 5-band phone. Like Nokia N80 and E61: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 + WCDMA. But this capability in Sony Ericsson mobile phone, which would be also much smaller and lighter.

So I was wanting feedback, do you use a 3g phone and if so what 3G features you use the most, thanks
GSM remains the world's fastest mobile technology, and faster than ever. In average 1 million new customer every day (!!!) in 3rd quarter.
Am using WLAN at home, and GSM/EDGE otherwise.
I tried first time video telephony (I was curious) last week, and it was a very very very very big disappointment!! Plain ugly.

I had a V800 for a while but sold it and got a W800i as the 3G reception is rubbish where I am. For the phone to stay on the 3G system it needed to have full reception or it revert to GSM instead. Never made one video call or streamed any video in the three months that I had it as I could never get decent reception even though Vodafone says there is reception in my area..

Are the Sky Tv channels(vodaphone) or the freeview channels (orange) that you recieve in your home, the same as the ones streamed to your mobile, or is it an edited version, just the highlights etc..?

I have a 3G phone (Z800) and 3G account.
I must admit I like it a lot. No because of any new or fancy services like TV.
Simply because it is so much better and faster than GPRS. WAP is now fast and really useful.
Plus I can connect my laptop via the phone and access the internet or our corporate network at reasonable speeds (its like using a low speed DSL connection, e.g. 256kbit).
So I like 3G, but simply because it is a faster evolution.
Roll on HSDPA is my opinion

What are the data charges like for 3G? Is it still really expensive to use?
That's one big thing (as well as reception where I live) that's stopping me going to 3G. It still seems very gimmicky at the minute.
And do all the UK service providers still 'ringfence' their content, like 3 did, so you can only access what they want, or can you go to 'third party' sites like the BBC or Esato?
