Hello all,

My carrier is probing UMTS/HSDPA in parts of the city I live according to this PDF

And I've spotted some weird thing behavior in my K790i. There used to be an E next to the signal bars and now sometimes it's replaced by a G.

My questions:

- Is it normal?
- Does that mean the K790i is UMTS/HSDPA capable?
- If not, what does that means?

Thanks in advance.

The G stands for GPRS and I suppose the E is for EDGE ( I have the K800i, which doesn't support EDGE ).
So this is normal, when you phone looses EDGE-coverage, it uses GPRS instead.

Thanks to you two.

The manual doesn't mention that.

Can you point me to some or any other brands nice UMTS/HSDPA phones?

Most of the GPRS networks are now EDGE powered.
