Calls and texts are turbo speed? No offense mate, but if you think those are the gains of 3g. . .

Forgive me if i don not explode in happiness if my SMS gets sent out faster and i can check my balance in 2 secs. These probably are happening as a result of improves QoS (Quality of service) from the existing 2G GSM infrastructure and not from 3G.

texas, nope

i use a nokia n95, i switch to only umts which is 3g, then i text not dual mode or gsm , try it

Imagine

Fadajasi:

Stupid you@sniperwolf

There are more than 100 search engines on the internet and Nairaland is not one of them. You are more stupid than I am

Really?

Yes

Wow, mtn has finally launch 3.5G service today,celtel and glo will launch theirs next week or so,it may be 3.8G this time around for celtel

Does nokia 6230i supports 3G? If it does,what are its functions relating to 3G service?

6230i is a nice phone but is not 3G enabled

Can anyone name an affordable phone dat supports 3.5G network and d prices also! thanx

I learnt it is not yet activate,they will inform whenever it is active

Or maybe they should re-activate 2.5g cos we are still experiencing a very horrible network here.

@Fada
my guy announcing is differ from launching.And if you want to enjoy 3G go for latest Nseries from nokia.
And let them start we will know whether is 3.5 or 3G network.

Lol! Typical Nigerian, all you can recommend is a Nokia phone. There are loads more 3G phones out there that aren't Nokia.
It isn't a stretch to go from 3G to 3.5 G, the extra '.5G' being a simple software update to enable HSDPA.

The pricing is what i'm concerned about, with MTNs 65k/kb being nothing but pure thievery.
