Actually the business tarrifs were ages ago.
They're saying the latest activation is just for data cards as voda don't support any 3G phones (but I have one)

It's about £5 a meg

I can't see 3G taking off for a good few years yet, even if the big boys bring out the service. The phones are just too big at the moment with poor battery life - to most people it'll feel as if the design and technology of the handsets has regressed about 8 years.

Yup because voda do not support 3G phones.
Same as they didn't support panasonic phones a few years back (not sure if they still do)

Go into your local voda shop and ask for a 3G phone "we don't do them sir" will be the reply

You've hit the nail on the head there. The current range of handsets are equivalent to handsets from about 5 years ago, in size and battery life terms. I had the chance to change contracts recently as T-mobile introduced a change to their terms and conditions, but I decided to see the contract out and then judge what was on offer. I just didn't like the handsets on offer. I don't think the handsets will improve until all the major networks bring out their 3G networks and it makes sense for handset manufacturers to concentrate on putting more effort on development in 3G handsets.

orange have just turned on their 3g network here in manchester - it's a trial at the moment.

My 6650 is perfect, just the right size, not piddly small, but not a brick either.
Will report back on 3G battery life (under GSM it lasts forever and I can switch between the two)

Which phone will you be using for 3G?
