    3.5G is better than the much touted `3G' or third generation mobile networks where high speed data, voice and video can be exchanged.

    The zippy new technology, is known as HSDPA — High Speed Data Downlink Packet Access — industry jargon which means the download speeds at which video or data can be sucked into a mobile phone could theoretically be as high as 10 mega bits per second (MBPS) — but in practice would be around a half to one-third this speed. It is the next evolutionary step in speeding up today's GSM or Global Services Mobile networks after it has upgraded to EDGE — Enhanced Data Rate for GSM and WCDMA — Wide Band Code Division Multiple Access.

    3.5g is faster than 3g. both is capable of video call and web surfing, the only difference is the speed. though not yet all networks supports either 3.5 or 3g or both. check your local telecom networks for support.
