To try to preserve battery I usually select GSM opposed to dual mode for the network connect when I'm out and about. I was under the impression that using GSM v 3G really had little effect on this sort of data transfer.

How wrong was I?

Since getting a car kit charger I have not been concerned with battery consumption and wow - the difference?

No lag, no issues - continues playback on all my trips around the metropolis of Helsinki. Been stuck on GSM for months: what an *** :-)
Happy to hear that QSpot works well for you.. On GSM / Edge there can indeed be problems with playback (even using the low bitrate option). On 3G is should however work fine (despite the fact that streaming over 3G consumes battery quite a lot, but again that can be solved by using e.g., a car charger).
