Any problems with other portals? I know some international networks don't allow access to sites like mcommunity.biz because of legal issues with the content on some of those sites.

I'm also impatient to get another 3G mobile. I'm due to an upgrade in this month...... but i can't wait .... the networks are slow getting more(better) 3G mobiles. Hey brix do u maybe have a site with the SE K800? Can't find it.

I have been watching this forum for a while and i noticed some BRIGHT SPARKS have invented their own phones.There is NO SUCH THING AS K800.There V800,Z800 W800 and P800 in the SonyEricsson product range.

Right now the K800 is just a rumour. Search the forums for some cryptic clues by some Esato posters in the know.
Heard that Icasa will be investigating 24 month contracts and whether they are competitive.

The Nokia Nseries is not a 3.5G phone.Max speed is 384kbs.3.5G phones should be available late this year or early next year

@Tahir Your info helps but it would help more if is true ! Where did you read about vodacom and 3.5G at 14mbps ? Also who are the companies to launch phones supporting 3.5G later this year?Yes I know about WIMAX and I love it as you can see from my earlyer posts.I think if WIMAX cellphones comes out,the cell companies will have to join it or die ! They will loose bussines anyway.Certainly they will have to drop their data charges to realistic levels if anybody is to buy the WIMAX offer as a fixed connection !

Well WIMAX is the bigger brother of WIFI.Is a radio link/network with a range up to 50KM and 70mbps.In reality the range and speeds are much less but still above anything we have today.There was one standard already approved as you read this and Intel already released a chip with which a WIMAX pcmcia/pci card can be build.All the networks like the idea as a last mile solution,but the cellphone companies (Nokia,Motorola etc) have realized the advantage and argue about a WIMAX mobile standard ! Should that come out (and it will)the following scenario is possible.Buy a wimax-mobile card and install in your pc.Network your pc and cell and phone using the adsl within a 50 km radius of your pc.Exactly this can be done today(more as a joke) over a bluetooth network (10 m range) and shortly over a wifi network using the N91 cell (over a 150-200m).Also Ipv6 (internet protocol) will make inroads in a few years and then even a full video call can be done !
