While browising on Vodafone Live today, under the 'music and tones' link it says something like "...realtones, 3G music store"

Anyone else notice???

sbiddle - that is where the growth in mobile is. Having more than one phone. I recall that Finland has something like 120% penetration! NZ is at about 80%.

80% that's right. Analysts are predicting 85% by xmas with the increased 3G competition, and 100% by end of 2006. Shows the accelerating growth rates....
By 2010, we will be looking at 120% plus, similar to our scandinavian sisters now. Though, that said, they will probably be at 10,000% saturation by 2010, and all be running around with 6 handsets, and one embedded in their eye.... made compulsory by their governments..

p.s. - sorry about the guy banging his head on the brix - but I have never used it before and couldn't resist - seemed like the perfect opportunity!

Damn this is a popular thread *Me takes off email update.

I got a V800 with Z800 firmware and I tried connecting to a Vodafone 3G when I was in town but it told me forbidden network, where I live the cell tower doesnt appear to have been updated to 3G but at tech the tower which I go to on wednesday so if they do launch it then it'l be perfect, to see.

oops, had not read the whole thread i guess LOL.

Hopefully someone brings a voda 3g data device to the Geekzone Party.

Perhaps we could find some meaningful tests (not just a speed drag) to run on both connections.

Bearing in mind that Vodas 3G will be unloaded...

Kickass
