My experience with 3 last year was very poor and I ended up returning the
handset.  My main problem was not so much coverage but the fact that the
hand-off between 3G and 2G networks when out and about was poor.

At the time, and I don't think that 3 have a fix for this yet, a call woul=
d
roam onto the 2G network (O2?) when there was no 3G coverage which was fin=
e.
However, the handset would drop the call when roaming back to 3G from 2G. =
I
would want to be certain that this was sorted prior to signing up.=20

What is the network coverage like?
