Post subject: Buying a Nokia E71...Internet connectivity questions inside

Hi folks,

I'm on the verge of purchasing a Nokia E71 with Wifi/GPRS/HSDPA/3.5G/GPS support and had a few questions with regards to getting the most out of the phone here in Shanghai.

1) Does China Mobile offer 3.5G support, or at least 3G? WiMax? What are the average speeds?

2) How do I go about getting set up with a data package through China Mobile? Are there different plans I can choose from? Are the rates per minute or can I get a monthly unlimited plan?

Thanks!

3G just begin in China. 3.5G doesn't start, I beleive.
Speed is 384/kbps and satified with E-mail, chat and web usage.
There are some opitions for data package types.

800M/Month 1200CNY
2G/month 1800CNY
Unlimited 2800CNY

You can check detail to China telecom, hotline "10000"
