Just one word of caution. Although Vodafone have chosen UMTS (WCDMA) it does not indicate it will be within all its networks, as cdma2000 makes sense for certain markets -the US market in particular with its non-conformist spectrum allocation. Voda have probably already gotten assurances (done an AT&T) that there will be dual mode handset cdma2000/WCDMA. Mind you, for most people it aint needed (only as an addded value sell for the 'global' operator) as like GSM now, all you need for de facto world roaming is dual band handset (900/1900 - of course you could go tri-band, but even that is unnescessary if you are with a 900 or 1900MHz operator. To prove that, I have never heard of an 1800/1900 dual band?).

Oh well, let the games continue. And yes, I am far happier today.
