@KBR...sorry about that, my bad. Don't know about anyone being 5 years behind considering that most European operators only switched on their 3G networks late last year...in the US they don't have a UMTS network running although CDMA2000 is widespread.

@Rick ...thanks
mate got ur pm.
@KBR786: It took government less time to hand out 3G licences than what it took in Europe. Right now the technology is still in beta phase...so Super 3G should launch later this year.

@brix
So are you saying MTN is not going to launch 3g, but rather "super 3g"???
I find that very very hard to believe,,, u mean later of THIS year!!!!?
If they do (which I seriously doubt) then VERY WELL DONE!!!!!

No, I'm not saying that...all I know is that they've been testing it.
Just read this article

Actually MTN launched GPRS before Vodacom but stuffed it up so bad that when Vodacom launched it a lot of people were sacred to use it (had heard all negative reports). And speaking of Blackberry (a few posts back), we got some in stock yesterday :-) Will be selling them from Monday :-) (Vodacom, that is).

@KBR: The Blackberry is not aimed at those wanting a camera and mp3 ringtones. Business users wanting their email on the fly will find it more usefull.
