    This phone doesnt have 3g.

    I use 3g alot with 3 for emails/internet etc.

    I have to go to Manchester for work for a bit and scouting out a few phones. TMobile do this phone with unlimited internet access. How slow/good would the internet access be on this?

    Well its capable of EDGE speeds so on an edge network it would be fine.

    TMobile appears to have edge so could be on to a winner

    Edge is nearly as good as 3g, so should be fine.
