3G

OK, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, ie. "No", but I know so little about it I thought I'd ask.

is the XDAII compatable with the 3G networks beign rolled out? Here in NZ we're going 3G in the next couple of months, I assume GPRS etc. is all still supported, but I know if I buy a new device I'd like it to work with the highspeed network.

no xda2 is not a 3g phone

3g do you want a fry'd brain with that ? :P

3G in Australia/NZ is the "3" network from Hutchison which is basically UMTS so not compatible with the XDA which is GSM/GPRS

I noticed some people on eBay selling XDAs saying that they are 3G compatible but the smallprint read" on the 2G network" or something similar ie their fallback GSM network.

if we are LUCKEY!
then maybe with software upgrades the xda
could be able to use
Edge also called G2,8
because it's based on G2 (GSM)
in maybe it dont need a new transmitter

EDGE is a new transmitter
UMTS (3G) is a new system even! So, forget the software thing.
