Vodafone is launching its first full third-generation mobile services in Europe, with Portugal and Germany to go live this week, the FT has reported.

The firm has enlisted Samsung to make handsets for the service, but hopes to expand its range in the coming months.

The roll-out will be concentrated in densely populated urban areas, covering about 30% of the population.

It is planned as the prelude for a much wider launch of 3G mobile technology around Europe.

The mobile industry has high hopes for 3G, which will allow users a wide range of multimedia services, including video and music.
