No joy so far. The best I got was about 400kbps outside Bank station, although of course I've no idea where the fabled HSDPA base stations in London are so don't know if it's the phone or the network.

do you know what field it was?

if my k810 supported hspda, i would try and see if i could get signal on it



Sounds like Orange are outstanding in thier field...

Send them an email asking them to get thier act together or at least give you details of were the good reception is. Even directions to that field might help.

Hmm, I tried an email but was told to call 156. I emailed saying that 156 hadn't been able to help; the reply asked me to call 156 again. I'm considering a (written) letter...

I wrote that letter to Orange, and after a while have received a few callbacks. In summary, I've been assured there's nothing wrong with the handset and everything wrong with the network. Apparently because of network congestion in the London area it's highly unlikely I'll get any HSDPA coverage. The suggestion was that the masts only offer it when the network traffic falls below a certain level.

If its a help, on my Orange n95 8gb, it (v.occassionally) displays 3.5g, rather than 3g...which I believe indiactes HSPDA.
On a connected subject, according to the Orange website, you are charged per minute when using HSPDA, rather than it coming out of your data bundle. This is ridiculuous - I was not made aware of this when I took out my data plan. Can anyone else confirm this is true?
