“Multimedia”

I hardly ever use any of the multimedia functions of modern phones (MP3 player aside) but do welcome the rollout of 3G. On the rare occasions I access the net it makes a massive difference.

Operators don't seem to be telling people this stuff is available - it's just there. I just got a K850i (on O2 UK) and i have almost constant HSDPA coverage. Doesn't seem to make browsing any faster though...

Same here. I only found out recently that I'm on 3G with T-Mobile. Had no idea before hand.
