    As per title, as I brought one and have not yet got home ot use it. I don't live in 3G coverage yet, but the network is now only 3 miles from my house, it should be soon. But, will it still work through the GPRS network? if so, what speed?

    Yes. Regular GPRS will be comparable to a 56k modem. EDGE will be 120-200kbps average. Since Vodafone don't have EDGE deployed, you will be stuck at dial-up speeds while you're not on their 3G network.

    Do you think Vodafone will ever deploy EDGE?

    Never say never, however their stated policy has been to skip EDGE and go straight to 3G.

    I use a vodafone connect card its not usb, i plug mine into the pcmia slot... it has a profile for both gprs and 3g... the speed for gprs is about dial up seed!! Try get sattelite broadband... would be much better!!!
