    Hmm that looks about right but I reckon you could be bigger red dots by the time this hits the shops..
    twill be bigger but still only the difference between 8% geographic coverage now and 10% geographic coverage later this year ....mindya thats better than the other 3g carriers I must say .
    I have no idea about the finer details of the product but I heard O2 are planning on offering a broadband service over their 3G network sometime in the future also.
    They have launched a 3g data card like vodas , up to 384kbits . They charge you €129 with no CAP per month ... at 384k max .
    Not exactly a revelation I know but sure... I have no idea what their (o2) 3G coverage is like but maybe Sponge might have an idea..
    Its Crap , they have no 3g voice service really and Comreg will not make them launch one. They do have a 3g data service but its very limited, far more so than Vodas which is probably why O2 DARE not publish their 'coverage' map in case people laughed at them .

    They are currently obsessing about iMode :( . o2 have launched HSDPA in the Isle of man but I never heard anything since and they obviously did it as a spoiler not a service ....1st in UK etc . They were considering a generous cap of 1Gb a month when they did launch HSDPA here..this year allegedly

    3 are possibly even worse....save maybe in the inner pale. Equally risible data prices.

    Voda are currently the best of a thoroughly bad lot when it comes to getting mobile data services .

    fckin endless long pages of T&Cs :(

    God bless your patience CG, with HSPDA they will probably consider 5Gb to be a 'generous' cap
