Adrusa: You may be mistaken there. Simply selecting 3G in network settings displays the '3G' icon on the standby display. This does not indicate a 3G presence, but simply that the phone is in 3G mode.
That you have not been able to connect with it also reinforces this.
I just popped in my MTN SIM and left my E61i in dual mode i.e. active on both GSM & UMTS networks - no indication of a 3G signal, yet it should indicate if indeed a 3G signal is present. When I manually selected 3G/UMTS instead of GSM, the '3G' icon showed up. I couldn't connect either.
This same scenario is what plays when I have a Celtel or Glo SIM too.
I think you are wrong. I saw 2 separate networks. Look at the attached images. In the fisrt picture of nokia e90, you can clearly see that the mtn is labelled 3G while the other networks appear as usual.
In the second picture of p990i, you can see 2 MTN-NG networks. The lower one has a mark to indicate 3G. And in the 3rd picture, you can see that my p990 is connected to the 3G network instead of the 2.5G in the previous picture. You can see that the signal is weaker than before.
Indeed they will be two networks. While some will have both and you can chose which one you want, some will continue to be only 2 or 2.5G. Now lets see where else there is 3G, wipe out your phone and test!

Adrusa: the pictures certainly validate your claims. No arguments there.

This last few pages have been hilarious! My wife is wondering what is so funny on my phone. Brym, pls list out the whole nokia empire hierarchy!
@aya: u ddnt mention how much u'd pay for video calls! I disagree abt the nokia vs se debate being fruitless. Agreed the debaters remain unflinched in thier stance but others reading it get lots of info about thier choices. Im sure a few of our nondebating pnfers have made phone purchases from info they got from a debate.
@adrusa: too bad i set my phone not to download pix, until i go online wifi or on a pc. What kind of boredom got u to look for the 3g signal anyhow? Checked for it in maiduguri. NADA!!! People in other towns should shout out thier results.
@coola: the frequency range is different but dont think of it as a different "network".

@Abubakar: I am not interested in video calls; the operators may charge whatever pleases them
On the issue of 3G being a different network or not, if the frequency is different (and it is), it is a different network. It may use most of the hardware of the existing 2/2.5G network, but its different. That's why phones with both 2G and 3G capabilities are called dual-mode phones. And that is why separate licencees had to be issued. Note, for example, that Alheri - without a GSM network on ground - can offer 3G services. Unlike GPRS which is merely a layer over 2G for maximising data (hence the term 2.5G), 3G is a proper standalone network and can replace an existing 2G network in its entirety where necessary.
I did some 3G sniffing this morning, and found that MTN has 3G presence in Alausa and Ojota areas, while Celtel and Glo have a 3G presence in Ojota. None of the operators have a 3G network in Ojodu yet. In all cases, none of the available 3G networks is active yet, as I could not logon to any of them for either voice or data.

@aya: i dont know u personally but I KNOW U! If video calls can be made for, say, N3 - 5 more than ordinary calls I KNOW u will have a register of all your 3g contacts to call!
As regards to the 3g sightings, just because 3g is in the transmission insignia it doesnt mean a thing. They could just be marking out the masts in high density areas that they "intend" to roll it out, in a bid to feild test the coverage area.

@Angelgirl, let me advise u candidly, cheap doesn't necessarily mean good quality, fast access on 3g networks and access to installable n relevant variety of 3rd party applications, for Instance Sony Ericsson is cheap without good functions, but cheap and good quality are most model of Nokia N and E series it will give u good quality product.
Angel girl by the way u didn't give us what ur idea of cheapest or lowest priced is without compromising quality ie ur budget, since the word cheap is relative, for instance abu's defination of cheap is Honda end of discussion with SE P1 (I like being Oga) sill advert, advertising SE P1 on the print and electronic media !!!

...Not many profiles here: handsfree and headset. No A2DP , no file transfer, no HID for Bluetooth keyboards...there's no way to Bluetooth a camera photo to your buddie's phone or PC or share an unprotected music or video file. (mobiletech review)
