Does anybody know why you have to search networks to get a 3g signal?
If its there, why doesnt the phone automatically find it?
The SE phones I've had so far lack the option of locking the signal to 3G only (my LG phone has this) so SE phones tend to bounce back & forth from 3G to GPRS/EDGE signals. The Search network option works for me so far.

Well i just moved from O2 to Orange. I can tell you the internet speed on Orange is so much faster than any network i used so far. Even normal 3G without HSDPA is fast. When i tried to use You Tube application on O2 it never worked. Now on Orange its great.

even HSDPA said 7.2Mbps, the practical maximum speed is 3.2Mbps

Got some experience with 3G and 3.5G
recently have a k800i with k850i
both with different cell operator in the area (country)
Foundings are
with the 'select network' feature in the settings, gotta do it several times at home so i might connect to the 3G (or 3.5G) network - whilst on the outdoor,didn't need to do that
plus i need to raise my hand (which holding the phone) as high as my chin
so sometime if i would use the k850i as a modem, i gotta hang it by the window or attach it (somehow) to a hanging lamp
just don't try to imagine that hard
both network don't seem to work on a room with only one way out (one door) and wall surrounded (on 4 sided room)
on the efficiency, the 3G is much
much faster
much expensive
munch inefficient
the fact are, even though it's almost 1 minute long connecting through the operator's EDGE - and not 2 seconds on the 3G network of the same operator, to open a certain page that is, connecting through 3G would access 3-5 time of kBytes than the EDGE connection
(sorry for my english)
cause there is a price i have to pay for the kind of network here in my country
that's all folks

Speed isn't the issue,but the 'efficiency' that is

Btw,to what norobiik wrote earlier- LG phones could lock to UMTS/3G - i've found that some of Nokia handset might do just the same,locking to UMTS network
Then i heard that Nokia 6120c locking to UMTS wouldn't last a day life of battery -worst,taking 4 cycle of charge within 24 hours periode
@norobik
How long does the LG handset, locked to UMTS, would last it's power?
Any1 with any other data?please

Telstra Australia will be releasing 21 Mbps mobile broadband soon and will ramp it up to 42 Mbps within a year. That will be the worlds fastest mobile network and will enable delivery of leading edge services.
