Browsing faster will get you to consume more. I've used HSDPA yesterday with a Vodafone account ( I am also Voda client) and I can't say I'm impressed. It's faster and you can see it with your naked eye but not THAT fast. Being there it's nice cuz I'll use it as soon as I get a HSDPA phone ( not too soon and it's not a changing-phone point for me). That's what I did with 3G. Everything came naturally. I never used 3G until I got the M600i.

I've recently moved over from t-mobile to O2. I never had the H symbol on my t-mobile branded K850i. Now with O2's new data plans I debranded and changed networks and the 'H' symbols appeared and always seems to be there.
However, having downloaded stuff in the past couple of weeks, downloading on t-mobile s network was really fast compared to O2's - there was a major difference, quite surprising really.

So the K850i is a 3.5g phone aswell?
I knew that 02 had Edge as alot of people were going on about it,
my Mothers phone the Z310i comes up "E" when she browses the GPRS Data
Voda live on the other hand loads the homepage alot quicker,
i'll have to findout "3" support it aswell my pals got the Unlimited Internet data on his Tariff

Says you get something like 3.5mpbs download speeds sounds good to me

I'm glad they finally got the ball rolling since I started this topic but I think what's missing in SE now is HSDPA in their smartphones and I suspect it has a lot to do with UIQ3 implementation in their devices, that's why only X1 is expected to have it running on WM, and that's why other UIQ devices either don't have it or are taking too long to be announced. While it's good that they're finally implementing HSDPA in some of their Walkman, Cybershot and mid range devices, I think it's really odd that they don't have it in their smartphones where it would matter the most. Is this some sort of twisted strategy or purely a sign of technical ineptness?

One feature I'm impressed with that seems to have been overlooked is that one can now surf and call at the same time. Previously if using the phone as a modem I couldn't send/recieve calls. This was the main reason I got a Vodem. Now its unnecessary.

Well, using 3.xG gives you that advantage, not GPRS though (then again who uses GPRS anymore right?) because you'd still have to disconnect to make/receive calls. I can't really be sure about EDGE though
