I wont be paying for it next year, I dont even bother with it now. I find this whole 3G a load of rubish.

yeah 3g promised so much but has delivered so little, a lot of new technology is coming around now and 3g will happily be long gone

I was of the same belief untill i was away from home for the weekend. It was very refreshing to be able to check my email at a decent speed and watch the Prem highlights and news on my phone. Stopped me going mad.

What were you expecting? Broadcast quality images?

Seriously though - I can't see the attraction of watching TV on such a tiny screen with awful sound and picture quality. I think the 3G phone is the new pocket TV (remember those from the 90s - out of all the people I knew only one person had one) - good idea in theory but absolutely crap in practise.

I'd imagion it to get more popular on trains and busses (as i'd rather watch that than talk to the werido sitting next to me). Hopefully screen size will increase and broadcast quality will improve.

Been watching a it of the Sky channels on Vodafone 3G, the video quality is what i expect from a small screen, and the audio quality is OK when using a pair of headphones. It is refreshing to watch abit of MTV when the missus is dragging me around shopping

My only gripe is the battery time, probably an hour and a half or so on a full battery on my SE V600. Still, for a freebie, it ain't bad! Not sure if I'll be paying when they start charging, depends on the price i guess!

Buses and slow moving trains perhaps, but not long distance journeys. It's virtually impossible to maintain a conversation on a 2G network let alone 3G on the Virgin train from Manchester to London.

I've got am Orange SPV C500 and covert films into windows media, I can get over 3 hours on a 256md mini SD card, which is great on my York to Motherwell train journeys. It is a lot better than having to drag the laptop with me.
