Hi Philip,
This is incorrect. Even though you are using Wayfinder with an N70, it
doesn't use the N70's 3G capabilities, it drops it back to GPRS. So
although your phone is 3G capable, Wayfinder is not using it.
All the best

Hi Ali,
In order not to confuse any prospective users, Wayfinder does work with 3G.
I am presently using it with Vodaphone on a Nokia N70.

Philip
