Orange to launch 3G in Britain this month

French cellphone operator Orange said it would launch third generation (3G) mobile telephone services in Britain on July 19, though customers will have to wait until later this year for the new handsets, according to the AFP.

"The first 3G product to hit the market from Orange will be a data card, aimed at business customers, offering high-speed Internet access for laptop computers.

Orange said Thursday that it would launch the new 3G handsets in Britain and France later in the year, offering video calling and messaging".
