With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday ’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programmes, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.

　　Don’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.

　　However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.

　　Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US government issued five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.

　　International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period（试验期） before the phones can finally hit the shops.
