    3G?

    Last month local top up mobile store told me we can expect 3G in our rural environment next month..seen new towers but as yet zip? Anyone actually got it it yet in rural Thailand?
    ..must admit for the most part don't care but sometimes it would be so nice to see YouTube etc without the frickin loading circle?

    It's great for the first 5 or 6 days then even without downloading you hit the 5gig cap and your are back in the 1990's.

    So many sites nowdays are content heavy, massive images, auto refreshing, self loading videos etc...5 gig is just not enough.

    As said I was very impressed with the speed till you very quickly hit the fair useage limit then it becomes unusable for even basic email.

    You should check out Opera mini, apparently it cuts your data costs by 90 % with its unique compression technology

    Hmmm, would need to run it on an emulator, but worth looking into.
    Thanks
