This is the statement on the merger in relation to the networks:

Will Vodafone and 3 share their networks, once the merger is complete?

There are no immediate changes to 3 and Vodafone’s existing network arrangements.

Will 3 continue to use Telstra’s 850MHz network?

Yes, the roaming agreement, which allows 3 customers to roam onto parts of Telstra’s network, remains in place.

Will 3 customers be able to roam onto the Vodafone network (rather than the Telstra 850MHz network)?

No, 3 customers will continue to use the 3 network and roam onto parts of Telstra’s network via the existing roaming agreement.

As for reception you can check here:

Hmm.. After doing more reading about the HTC 3 version vs. Google Powered Voda version I'm seriously leaning towards the 3.. what about you guys? The one thing that didn't seem too clear from my brief look at the 3 website was whether their roaming charges were included on the cap.. ie whether roaming would eat through your voice/data cap faster or would be an additional cost on top of the $99 + data pack that you're already paying.

All these hardware variations and odd licencing deals have made this very very confusing. Oh - are the marketplaces centralised or are they operated by the carrier? i.e. would the 3 marketplace and the voda marketplace be different?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SkullKill:
for 3, roaming charges are not included in the cap... it is on top of the cap :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MontAlbert:
yeah all depends on where you go- i live in melbourne and rarely go outside metropolitan melb. last bill i had something like 52cents of roaming charges....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stevo86:
I am quite sure it would be a centralised market place. It would be too hard for the carriers to create their own, and include all the applications that are present in the current Market.

What would be interesting is if the carriers could develop a way to bill the apps at the end of the month instead of signing up for a Google account.

Paid apps is rumored to have been released in Australia too! http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1213884
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdamHC:
Thankyou for letting me know about that, I was planning to go on a cap with 3 and get a Magic but I live in a roaming area so I definitly won't be doing that now.

Thanks for answering my question stevo86, the 3 link tells me I have to roam in my area. Don't wanna get the Voda version cause it has less RAM.

Looks like I'll probably have to buy the thing outright and stick in my current Telstra SIM. Kinda expensive for a kid who works one shift a week at Hungry Jacks :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SkullKill:
hum, came across this .... pricing on the official three site.

http://store.three.com.au/mobilesOverview.aspx?productId=1318&capCost=0

any idea what's happening with the x-series suppose to be half price?? anyone? :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rahux:
eep

Argh.. been counting on the data-packs being half price for my budgeting :( Balls.

They had a blog post/review/sales pitch yesterday (11 June) but still didn't offer a release date more specific than 'mid june'.. how much more middle do they want to be before being specific? Geez..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
I just contacted 3 Customer Support and the operator was able to offer me 3's preferred release date for the HTC Magic: June 17th. So if everything goes well, then they'll be in stores on Wednesday! I expect their pricing page for the Magic to be officially linked and listed in amongst all the other available handsets on this date.

The kind operator was unfortunately unable to let me know what the outright price of the handset will be (which is what I'm most interested in, at present). The handset is shipping from mobicity.com.au for just over AU$800, this being the same price for both the Vodafone (white) and the 3 (black) versions. I have not yet confirmed that MobiCity's 3 version has more memory than their Vodafone version. It seems strange to get almost 100MB for free, just by not choosing Vodafone.

Depending on how impulsive I am feeling on Wednesday, I may or may not rush out and buy one. I am very excited about a phone OS as flexible and developer friendly as Android, but I'd really prefer to have a physical keyboard and a 3.5mm audio jack. I would be buying the HTC Magic for Android, not for the hardware (which is admittedly a zillion times more sleek and comfortable than the Dream, yuck!).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rahux:
Just adding to the above comments: I just spoke to 3 too and was likewise told they're officially launching on Wednesday. He also confirmed that the 1gig X-series would be $10 and the shop would reflect that at launch. He also said that the phone should be hitting their warehouses on that day so they'll be ready to start dispatching as it comes, 2 working days for delivery.

However in my impatience I had also called the three store in Northland over the weekend and they said they think they'll get it in at their store "in a couple of weeks", by the sounds of which online sounds like the way to go.

jockeyrhyme: Not sure about mobility but if you look on the vodafone and 3 websites and click up the magic on the their online stores and click 'specifications', it does show the difference in RAM.

3.5mm would be nice but so far I never really use phones for audio unless I'm using the speaker and going for a stroll lol so it's not an issue. With my first PDA (2nd smartphone), I chose it partially because it had a keypad too. Then as the keys started giving me trouble after a lot of abuse, I started using 3rd party finger-friendly soft keyboards. After I got used to it I was constantly wishing I didn't have the keypad so that it'd be a smaller phone. Much prefer to be without a physical keyboard these days. Not willing to wait around any longer because I really need to change plans regardless.

[P3600 ROM Development] BigE:
search, read ,ask - that's the right order

Dude,

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://xdaforums.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all

Here is the link for searching in this forum. Since you gave us nothing to work with (what ROM? What OS on the PC? etc.) and I can not tell if you know what the 'USB to PC' setting is on your device, I can't answer you.

In general, there is ActiveSync 4.5 for XP or mobile center for Vista. Never heard of activeSync 4.7 (only shows on some phishing sites, as far as I could tell) and trinity works fine with ver 4.5

So do some search , do some reading, and then try to focus your question and give some details. Note that you have got only 5 (!) reading your thread, and no answers... It's OK to be a newbie (we all started that way) and you will find people here are helping and sharing, but you need to obey some ancient rules. Sorry for being the bad dude, bit someone has to.. ;)

I will visit your thread again in a while, if you added info I'll help you. a hint- search on the link i gave you for 'USB to PC setting'.

Beyond me at this time, sorry.

I understand what you want but at this time I do not have the knowledge of how to make this happen. I have not found the way to change this. In the 3.5 version and older there was a background image not in 4.0 so I will continue to work on it. Hopefully someone here on XDA will fill us in on how to do this. Sorry..........will continue to look for a solution.:(:confused: I have posted a request on the CooTek forum.

Black keys with midnight blue pop ups or the other way around? Right now I am waiting for a response from the CooTek programers on how to make the background dark instead of light. If you want let me know the answer to the keys and I can do it tomorrow but the background will still be like the top of the black one until I get a response from CooTek ok? The screencapture below illustrates what I am talking about and when you touch the keys it shrinks and shows the small key surrounded by the lighter background. Eventually I will get it corrected.:(:):eek:

[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Thanks mOnkeyman!

I appreciate you testing the pink one for me, I realize that was probably hard because as soon as I finished making it I took it off my PPC! Pink is not my favorite color, LOL. Making them on my PPC is a great reprise from boredom. Hopefully the VGA Black glow looks pretty close to the QVGA version, I tried my best and as you know there are twice as many pixels for the VGA so I had to figure out how to make the curved corners on the buttons with my PPC program Pocket Artist. For QVGA it is just a straight line (45 degrees) on the VGA buttons it is actually curved a bit. Took a bit of painting to get it right so hopefully it looks OK on your VGA device where it is also more clear. Take it easy................................later.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:

To make a skin as specific as that is probably beyond my skills at this point. You should ask Lycox or even Voltage because they are experienced skinners I am just begining to learn so that is why I am skinning only TP for now and only working with loose concepts not specific. I have to do the VGA Black Diamond Tuck then a Blue Ripple skin by request after these I am making a white skin so possibly I will attemp your request if no one has tried to fulfill
