The new mobile with 3G cost me all of two hundred dollars in the duty free. So now I'm all set and ready to go. 3G means I have broadband access through my mobile - so I can zip through the internet without www (wait, wait, wait!). I can also send and receive video and therefore see and be seen. Whether this is good or bad depends on perspective. Who would want to see an early morning vision with frizzy hair and old pyjamas?
3G phones can be used to watch TV. If you can bear watching on a 2 inch by 2 inch screen.
And dont forget all this comes for a price. You have to subscribe to the service and shell out monthlies. Worth it or not? For me, not. So why did I get the phone with 3G. Because its there and its cool to have it!
