what's better: having 3G on your phone or wifi? i've been reading some reviews that some people choose 3G over wifi. why is that so? i'm planning to buy a phone and i don't want to be disappointed. so yeah, i'm kinda researching.
ReplyDeleteAt Anonymous, I will prefer 3G over WiFi, because, there are limited spots for Wifi and when you ahve that spot, you will be sharing connections with other WIFi users thus the many users there is, the slower your connection. 3G or HSPDA on the other hand may be location based too but when they become available, you will be expereincing its full speed. 3G (384 kbps) HSPDA (3MBPS), though WiFi on some ocations is free, there are others that may require password from the source. I still prefer 3G connection over WiFI though Wifi is still neat.
ReplyDeletei have been issued by Smart communications with this phone and it says it is 3G Phone. all the while i thought that when you say 3G, it can automatically video call. To my dismay, there is no video call feature on this phone...
