3G Technology
-
I keep hearing about 3g technology..what does that mean?what is 3g?
-
It means a partial end to GSM phones.
-
you mean to say that when 3g takes over,our current gsm phones won't work?
-
Kind of, unless your phones are built like the nokia 7600 or DoCoMos.Originally posted by barnabas:you mean to say that when 3g takes over,our current gsm phones won't work? -
what do you mean?what about 6260?is it a 3g phone?
-
As far as I know, most 3G phones I've come across works on CDMA, not GSM. Such as models from NEC, Motorola, LG and that particular model from nokia. You can still acccess your SIM card with those phones sure, but use 3G network no.Originally posted by barnabas:what do you mean?what about 6260?is it a 3g phone? -
oh god!!!that means i cannot use my current phone when 3g takes over!!ah!!!
-
No, it just means you might not be able to use your old phone. So far, Hutchison is offering 3G services in Oz, and the reviews have been somewhat well, ok.Originally posted by barnabas:oh god!!!that means i cannot use my current phone when 3g takes over!!ah!!! -
some info can be found here
3G Generation
u might oso wanna read up on Bluetooth, one of the more popular 3G technologies -
fireice,you mean to say that phones supporting bluetooth are 3g phones?
-
No, bluetooth and 3G is different technology. Bluetooth is a data transmitting technology most used for wireless headset and data transfer to PC. It is not a phone network, so u don't compare it with 3G, rather u can compare it with infra-red or USB data transfer.
3G stands for 3rd-Generation phone network.
The 1st-generation phone (1G) is the bulky handphones u see over 10 years ago without SIM cards and everything are hard-wired.
The 2nd-generation phone (2G) is what most of us are currently holding, a phone which is independent from the operator with the use of SIM, regardless of which network u are on, eg. GSM, PCN, 900, 1800, 1900, etc. The bandwidth of 2G phone is limited to 9.9 kbps which u can hardly use it to surf the net, perhaps good enough for email only.
GPRS is sometime called 2.5G b'cos its bandwidth can reach 128 kbps, which is useful for normal internet surfing, search, download of games, wallpapers, screensavers into your phone.
But 3G phone is much more superior ... its bandwidth is 1 mbps (i.e. 1,000 kbps) !!! It is so fast that users can now communicate more than just Voice, but also Video. Hence, VIDEO CONFERENCING or face-to-face realtime communication become a reality.
So basically all your previous handphone or SIM cards won't be able to support 3G, and u would need to buy a new video-conferencing handphone and to subscribe for a totally new plan from the operators when it fully launched commercially in late 2005.
I look forward to the day when I can SEE the person whom I talked to over the phone. I LOVE 3G !!!

I think for consumers, the most important consideration is how much you're going to pay for your bills.
If you're willing to pay for 3G services, well, go ahead.
These services don't come cheap. -

i wonder where all the people who said "CDMA phones are lousy" are now?

3G is not offered to the public as yet.
Even when it's offered, I think there should be better deals from the telcoms. -
Yes, 3G not in service yet.
But you can use the phone as per normal. It's kind of special as very few people will have a chance to own a 3 G phone in Singapore yet.
By the way, at the price that I'm offering, it'll definitely be cheaper than whatever deals that the telecoms can offer.
If i dont need the money urgently, will not bear to sell it at all.
