Are their any specific settings for Vodafone 3G?

Went to the Vodafone store on Saturday, paid Rs 500 deposit and collected a postpaid SIM. Verification dude came TODAY (sunday) and signed off. Hopefully tomorrow my SIM will go live Can't wait to FINALLY experience 3G, hopefully I can get the trial thing before the official launch in Pune.

My SIM was activated today morning, and I just now got 3G activating this evening. Loving all the self-service portals and what not of Vodafone!Some problems/hurdles faced - it was not totally plug and play:1. Had to change my APN from portalnmms to www manually - I just had Vodafone Live and did not get Vodafone Mobile Connect.2. Had to check the "use proxy" option even though the settings were automatically downloaded on to my N900.3. Had to check "automatic configuration" and no need to provide the web location to get the settings, it worked on its own.After rebooting the phone, 3G seems to be working (I get the 3G icon) except I am getting 2G speeds around "350 Kbps" (bits) according to mobilespeedtest.comWill wait til tomorrow evening to see if anything improves before further researching - because I only sent the "ACT 3G" sms to 111 today evening and they replied to wait 24 hours for it to be ready So far, VF is looking awesome! I hope I can get multi-mbps speeds on my old trusty N900 which supports up to 10 mbps download.ALSO:I'm thinking about getting the Vodafone Mi-Fi R201 device It's Rs 5500/- MRP I think, will find out about availability this weekend. Vodafone store guy says its not yet available - until 3G full launch maybe.
