Etc) which only provides 3G coverage and they extending the 3G coverage and switch off the GSM rooming, they don't have own GSM antennas. In bigger cities you even can't use normal GSM phones without 3G. Because of this 3G is for me a must. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
