I think the amazing browsing stats on the 2G iPhone pretty much dealt to the myth that you *need* 3G to make mobile internet useful/attractive. All the time-critical, need-it-now internet stuff is available as text-only – email, train/flight times, directions, news, eBay – even Google maps has text-based driving directions.

Having 3G enables recreational stuff like YouTube, photo browsing, music and video download/watching. As things evolve, the critical stuff will become more feature-rich and the latency will fall leading to a nicer experience, but the fundamentals are delivered quite satisfactorally with 2.5G.

As for VF coverage, sure 3G isn't everywhere yet, and I myself live in a 2G area. However, 2G internet is better than no internet at all. It's just like stepping back into 1998, with a good bit of the old dial-up speeds. Slow, but still useable.

I was a vodafone customer until today. Shocking CS at 191 and total lack of 3G pretty much anywhere from Torquay to Lands End when on Holiday where i am now…… having a slow GPRS connection is a total turn off for me. Got me a t-mobile modem on test and using HSDPA/HSUPA in my room now to type this getting an average of 1.2 to 1.3mb/s connection speeds which is very fast on my Advent.

Of course signal is different for everyone but just watch out because by end of the year 3 and T-Mobile will have 7.2mb/s and HSUPA across all the network where as a lot of Voda's network will still be 1.8mb/s

If Voda make it £20 a month, I'll probably be sold.
