Guys post your opinions

We know that some brand can lock 3G signal in their mobile phones

& Some people always wanted to lock their phones in 3G signal.

my SE k800i cant lock 3G signal, i have only the dual mode 2G/3G setting.

which of the two settings have the best performance?

3G lock VS Dual mode.

Dual mode is better. 3G drops quickly if there is not enough coverage.

On K800 via patch can select Only 3G:

3G is better for places with very good network coverage, but not everywhere is full coverage.
I prefer to use dual mode (GSM and 3G), because phone automaticaly change 3G to normal GSM (2G) if you haven't 3G coverage.

@centur

oh i see tnx for ur opinion, so dual mode is much better, it means i dont need that 3G lock setting bcoz my phone will automatically lock 3G signals if my vicinity had 3G coverage,my phone will pick the strongest signal.

i don't know why some people that i see are craving for 3g lock, they say it's better to use 3g lock when downloading and dual mode in browsing.
