Vodafone 3G Network

Just recently, Vodafone made their announcement, a momentous one at that. Their Vodafone 3G network would be introduced to the market, I am talking here in the past tense of course, after being launched at Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney, it rolled over to the other principal areas like Perth and Brisbane.

This major player in the mobile industry also came out with 5 Vodafone 3G phones, these were: Motorola V1050, Sony Ericsson V800i, Nokia 6680, Samsung Z500 and the fifth was something from Sharp.

Vodafone came with a partnership with another leader in the market, Optus, and this happened last year, at November. They had a meeting of the minds to come up with a 700M Aus$ working relationship, to operate a countrywide 3G radio system.

They have a streaming live news offering, and this is provided by the Sky News. According to the top officials, if it is for example, a bombing, subscribers could watch the news live right there on the mobile, no different that watching it from the TVs.

They also had an undertaking with Twentieth Century Fox, and they call this 'mobisodes'- what are these exactly? Coming from the TV show 24, customers would be allowed to have downloads of 24 separate 1-minute parts.

Vodafone 3G offerings of this major player also include access to at least 180 games that would have the 'classics', at least, that is how I call them. They are- Pacman, Lemmings and the more recent ones such as EA Sports Tiger Woods Golf 2005.

Let us go to music, and I know for a fact that a lot of individuals put music capablities as their number one criterion for buying a phone. Well, the Vodafone 3G would not disappoint, customers would have the capability to download complete songs from a collection of more than five hundred thousand tracks, now, that is something. Tracks would be stored on the mobile as MP4, while videos would come in 3GP type. If the customer downloads some music contents, a log of the transaction would be kept on the mobile, and also at Vodafone's database, now, that should minimize customer complaints.
