Vodafone today launched its third-generation high-speed mobile phone service, going head-to-head with competitors Hutchison, Telstra and eventually Optus.
Vodafone today announced its third-generation (3G) network would be commercially launched in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra this October with other capital cities to follow in 2006.
Third-generation handsets offer video calls, music downloads and streaming services. They're generally a bit bigger than their 2G cousins but offer a whole lot more multimedia functionality.
