@Tahir:....All that hype and just over 3k people could be bothered! Try the sales pitch somewhere else, coz I ain't buying. Just BTW saw MTN displaying "Y'ello Broadband" in the cell information. They might be launching EDGE as suggested by my dear friend Tahir or better still 3G.

MTN's entry into the 'broadband' arena is long overdue. So much for the talk. We need action.
Concrete action for that matter.

Super 3g is just a new dream on old paper.20Mbps is only reached at a few kilometers from the repeater tower (on paper for now as I mentioned above ! ). WIMAX gives 50Mbps+ at 50KM+ ! And the cellphones will support it in 16-20 months ! (nokia at least) Tahir, 3G technology is a few years old by now (envisaged/designed in the middle '90) We only getting it now because of political and economical (it bubble bust) reasons. The ingeneers have learned from their mistakes and WIMAX is not only a better technical design but is able to use just about any frq. spectrum you throw at it,thous giving the possibility to the ones who implement it (not only cell companies ! ) to take the wind out of the politician's sails.3G has already been paid for by the cell companies so it will be implemented.But I think to say that in 2010 you will surf the net on 3G at 100Mbps in Karoo is a bit of a 'long shot' :-)

Welcome to the thread. Seems like I'm not the only one raving about the K700i... I've seen several people using it this weekend. Tried playing with my sister's Samsung C100...absolutely horrible menu, trying to surf wap pages is a bitch because of the OpenWave browser.

@Rhino:So I take it you're getting a new phone? Thinking of going for a Blokia? They've got a plethora of phones on the market.
