You can check the theoretical coverage here:

My experience with a 3G data card was that there's a long way yo go before
it becomes a viable replacement for GPRS (coverage-wise), plus is very

hungry.

O2 have put back the release of XDA3 due to the coverage area not being
where it needs to be in order to launch a new product; I think that says a
lot.  The revised date is, at the moment, early 2005.

3G have some amazing tariff deals at the moment =A312.50 for 500 mins

network any time.

But before I consider making the plunge has anyone actually got a 3G

phone?

What is the network coverage like?

Are the calls dropped easily? Is it similar to when One2One first started?

Thanks,
