Kirk, I'm not quite sure about the voice quality on your sim because mine seems to work well compared to DTAC or TRUE, guess it's because I'm in the CBD areas most of the time anyway.

Oh, by the way, my sim is the original sim I have used since I first signed up with AIS 8 years ago so I could tell that 3G works on old sims.

For 3G part, only 2 locations seem very silly for the whole service. However, it still works for me because I'm lucky to be visiting the places often and the change from my old plan that charges by minutes to the new one that charges by data doesn't materially cost me more.

I only use my mobile to read news, check emails and check sport scores, stuff like these don't really need blazing-speed internet.

In terms of speed, I don't have any testing applications on my mobile, just lazy to find one for my Symbian UIQ phone. But I could tell from my feeling that it's much faster than GPRS (2G) because I don't have EDGE (2.5G) on my phone so the jump is noticeable.

The obvious change from 2G to 3G can be seen from the lesser time it took to load and start showing pictures when I opened my Picasa web albums.

It's a pity I couldn't do that anywhere but the 2 places we already know.

Before I forget to mention, the transition from 2G to 3G on my P1i Symbian UIQ phone isn't as complicated as yours.
It works quite the same way as when it connects to the internet using GPRS with no setup required at all.

I could only tell that the phone makes the switch to 3G network when the speed of browsing increases.

Hi Den - so how have you found the service overall? Any problems with voice-quality (on the normal GSM network)? Did you do any speed testing on your phone using 3G?

For some reason, when using the AIS sim, the voice-quality at my condo is horrible, even though my phone shows full signal strength.

I've only played with the 3G inside Paragon, although I'm hoping they roll it out across the city soon. Until then, I'm sticking with DTAC.

My Sony Ericsson P1i also works on 900Mhz and I sign up right after checking with Cnet Asia web, despite AIS telling me my phone may not work.
