So far, the way i understand it is like this, orange/telkom had CDMA, and they launched EVDO on top of the same CDMA technology , and this is what they have been marketing as 3G+, That's why their 3G+ service is only available in certain few areas even though voice GSM has wider coverage So, what they been having is 3g+ running on CDMA/EVDO technology and their modems are CDMA/EVDO, Please note that they provide voice on a GSM, so they've always had their data(3G+) and voice technology on different platforms What they launched jana, i believe was 3G on GSM, somebody correct me if i've made a mistake, so, from my understanding, to enjoy the 3G they launched jana, you'll need a new modem , but now you can enjoy faster speeds on your regular GSM phone PS. so what's the future of CDMA/EVDO in the country, who know's what happened to the other players in that market segment i.e. Popote wireless and flashcom

My head is hung low, and a heavy heart weighs a ton. How would you feel if you live in Africa, and you knew beyond all doubt, that the strongest animal was no longer the proud Elephant but the Rhinocerous Beetle? Orange 3G+ is the new king of data - it's faster and cheaper; as for Safaricom, the only thing going right for them is Kenyans4Kenya. ORANGE SAFARICOM I ran these speed tests from Westgate mall where the two have shops opposite each other. Not all is perfect though, Orange claim to sell their modem with a bundle, which turns out to be false after purchase. And on Orange there is this issue with Upload speed - very fast for a fact - but a configuration error leaves it in an endless loop, confusing your browser in some cases so keeping the pages loading for ages.

Its true that the guys promoting the modems at 3500/- are lying to customers that there is a free unlimited internet for a week, I called up customer care and they claimed that there is not even a weekly unlimited offer in the company
