Particular when I was using it a bit further away from the CBD, it seemed to be very unstable while being connected to the network and it seemed that it had some issues when it tried to switch between the 3G and the 3G Broadband network.

Barely Out Of Beta 3 has been put live yesterday afternoon as Minty has told me later last night when we met in a small town named Featherston (which is "behind the hills" from a Wellingtonian's point of view :), enjoyed being geeky and played board games.

by kai on 19/09/2007

This issue came up on the German cf-discussion list the other day and I thought it's a good idea to post it. Someone had massive cfdocument issues.
