I'm still in a contract with VF till September. No idea what i'm gonna do when we switch. Might just get the best phone I can free with them and sell it.

Vodaphone gets bad signal where I am too. Damn living in a rural area! The scenery and peace is well worth the trade-off though. tongue.gif

There is no 3G where I live, not on any network in the UK. Feels bad.

It is bad, and people like Tudj get 900KB/s down where he lives. I don't think i'm even on 2G now, i'm on GPRS. It's only one above WAP.
