Every time I walk into a dead zone were there isn't any reception the 3G icon appears to the right of the signal icon. Is this a bug or does this mean 3G may be avaliable on a roaming carrier?

Try making video call and you will see if it is a bug or 3G roaming

I think its a bug, as my phone does this too. Normally with me, if i'm somewhere where i cannot get signal from my carrier, but there is signal from another service provider, i get "Emerg. Calls Only" on the standby screen.

This is nothing. I get the 3G icon on my N73 out of the blue. The only thing is, there is no 3G network here.. Not till 2009 atleast......

@sirhackalot, in your case you get the icon while you're in a dead zone.. Correct? In my N73, i randomly see the 3G icon whilst i'm on a gsm network.. But, i do get the 3G sign when in a dead zone as well. Strange phenomenon.. And across rival brands. Maybe this is common?

Well maybe there is something with network frequencies and availability change that confuses the phone and making it show the 3G icon...

Yes.. Plausible when you're in a dead zone. But wierd when i'm on a Gsm network. Maybe they're testing 3G.
