Probably pretty shitty as mobile phones can only handle like 28k worth of bandwidth last time I checked.

my dad has got a 3G phone...
played with it a bit but still i dun quite like the performance and quality of video streaming
here in HK the choice of 3G phones is quite limited, juz 6 (relatively) heavy and bulky models
and the battery drains really really quickly even if u dun get online or play videos or take photos
and when u're inside the underground railway u cant dial out sometimes

the service charge is not so expensive, though
the most basic plan is HK$123 (abt US$15) per month (vs. HK$80/US$10 per month for basic 2G plans)
