Righty - sorry I misread earlier.

Haven't had too much fuss with 3G eating battery overall, but the  
ability of switching off data sometimes is handy and it's a pity the  
G1 doesn't just allow it out of the box but requires a trick. Still,  
works.

I suspect the 3 funny situation of 3G only will probably disappear  
with Hutchison and Vodafone merging.


Cheers,
Arjen.
