I doubt you'd notice the difference between 2G and 3G on Opera Mini, if images are turned off. What app/website on it would need the bandwith of 3G?

- dingaling 10y agoWell for example in the UK it simply won't work on the 3 network ( Hutchinson-Wampoa ) which has no 2G reversion but is popular for PAYG.
- wlesieutre 10y ago2G networks in the US are being phased out. AT&T shut theirs down several months ago. Most of the headlines I saw were about the Nissan Leaf needing a 3G modem retrofit to keep working with Nissan's connected car service, since nobody much used the 2G network for phones anymore.
- kiwijamo 10y agoHere in New Zealand, Spark (second largest network) has already turned off their 2G network and Vodafone (largest network) is planning to do so in the next few years. This leaves only 2degrees (third largest) with any long term plans to keep running 2G and their own coverage is no where as good as the other two (they roam on Vodafone 2G/3G where they don't have their own coverage which accounts for over 20% of the population). I would be keen to buy this phone if it had at least UMTS 850/900/2100 to ensure I could use it on any network for 10+ years to come. A very short-signed move IMHO.
