This is so confusing. Three market "X-series" or 3.5G phones. Is
this the Three network or piggy backing off NextG?

Does Vodafone have 3.5G networks or not?

Thanks in advance

The former. Outside of their 3.5G coverage you'll roam onto Telstra's
2.5/2.75G (GPRS/EDGE) GSM network.

Yes, they do 3.5G (HSDPA) in SYD/MEL, 3G in other cap. cities and 2.5G
(GPRS - no 2.75G/EDGE) outside of the cap. cities.
