I am unsure whether i am getting 3g downloads or not, as it seems quite slow. Is there anyway to test the speed.
I have a k800i unbranded by devinci on orange.

What I did was to download a ~1 MB file, clock it with a stopwatch, and do the math. I ended up with 30 KB/s, or 240 kbps (compared to the theoretical 384 kbps).

That's not too bad. At least it is far more than normal GSM GPRS. I sometimes manage 36 kByte/s which is about 300kBit/s. But only if I'm very, very close to a base-station. Appart from that most of the time I have about 250kBit/s.
With internet you always have to consider overheads. Even with DSL this overhead is about 15%. So for 384kBit/s that leaves 326kBit/s for a wired connection. As GPRS and UMTS have some additional 5% overhead that leaves about 310kBit/s in perfect conditions - which we never have in real live.
Furthermore the PING times are also considerably higher for wireless connections in general. That means it takes longer until a server will respond on your requests.

Whats the time where live? It depends on the amount of users on at the moment...
Anything over 300 is decent I doubt youll get exactly 384!

3G prices...
What price plan's r out there?
In Norway, one of the network charges about EUR2 pr.1MB of data. Is that comparable with the world?

Uh - for me that's cheap. Switzerland on Swisscom: 6.50€ per MByte.
But there are monthly plans like 45€ for 2Gbyte included etc.

i don't mean to make you guys feel bad but on my network here in the philippines, it costs less than US$0.20 for every 30 minutes. volume of MB's is not an issue.
