What're the difference between 3G and 3.5G beside the speed?

Just the speed and nothing but the speed.

beside speed? erm this

3G = UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)
3.5G = HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access)

hello there, just drop by here to ask something about the postpaid bill.
hope some of you could help me out.
I just got the bill from celcom for my postpaid number.
my package is Minutes Postpaid-C250
I'm curious now is, why at the RINGKASAN AKAUN there, they do charge me for RM75 for CAJ BULANAN?
according to the bill, I only use RM11.34, and now I've to pay all total for RM81.50 after discount and service charge.
really curious about this, cause when the time I register for this number, the salesperson told me that if I make phone call less than RM50, I'll have to pay RM50 only, but now how come they charge me RM75 for the monthly fees? Should or should not I pay for the bill?
Any idea for my problem? Hope got people can explain to me

New Celcom package for enterprises

CELCOM (Malaysia) Bhd, the country's second-biggest mobile-phone operator, is going all out to tap into enterprise-base customers with its third-generation (3G) offerings.

It has introduced a "Power of Three" package, which leverages on its partnership with British-based Vodafone Group Plc.

Under the package, Celcom will offer Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G broadband data card or Celcom 3GX, that supports the high-speed data packet access (HSDPA).

The HSDPA is four times faster than regular 3G service and about 15 times faster than GPRS, which makes the service suitable for professionals, businessmen, corporate and government employees.

"With these enhanced services, users can now mobilise their businesses while on the move," chief executive officer Datuk Shazalli Ramly said in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

He said the new service will be offered first to its existing 3G enterprise customers or the Celcom PowerTool users, as part of its loyalty programme to upgrade the current system.

The service will then be fully rolled out by the end of this year. Celcom's enterprise base contributed 9 per cent of the company's total revenue last year.

Shazalli said the group is optimistic of achieving a customer base of 150,000 3G subscribers by the end this year, driven by Celcom's wide 3G offerings at affordable rates.

As at July this year, Celcom has 90,000 3G subscribers and a total of 7.8 million subscribers.

In conjunction with the launch, Celcom also introduced BlackBerry Vodafone that is riding on Celcom's network and services.

The BlackBerry model 8707 is the first BlackBerry handset available from Celcom using the Vodafone solution.
