Thanks for the IDEA 3G update by TT Team.

At least in Nashik, i am not getting Idea 3G signal yet, hopefully will get soon, and will surely update here.

Idea rocks in terms of network in Maharashtra and when it will be a 3G, it will be the best of all in state with no doubt.

3g ! well how many of you like to use 3g in mobile only? and with laptop and pc how many of you like to use 3g for internet access,as far as me. i use net in mobile only and thinks with that much high rates of 3g from private operators, its better to use 2g net.its cheap and affordable.for laptop and pc i use data card from reliance net. what you all say for that??

But when BSNL 3G is there with affordable plans, we can very well use 3G for all our needs.
