From: Fred on 23 Mar 2010 08:48 Hi, I'm looking for the cheapest handset with 3g internet. Any ideas? For some reason the phone web sites like to list how many megapixels the camera has and how many mp3s it can hold but they rarely say anything about the speed of the internet. Does "good for email" = fast internet? TIA

The "speed of the internet" is determined by weather the phone is 3G capable or not. The camera spec on the other hand can vary quite widely. > Does "good for email" = fast internet? It could equally mean "has a keyboard" If data speeds are important look for a device which supports HSDPA, sometimes called "3.5G" -- Regards Jon

The camera spec on the other hand can vary quite widely. Sorry, I wasn't very clear, what I meant to say was the adverts don't say "2g" or "3g" capable. I'll look into the 3 mobile, I had forgotten about that network! |
