AFAIK most phones only display 3.5G icon when device is actively trasmitting data in the background. However, it depends on both 3G network implementation AND specific device software whether to display that icon while idle.

Nonetheless, that's interesting what you're seeing there. Did you try putting different network's SIM card into N900?

All I can do to add to this topic is to tell you that my N900 picks of 3.5G just fine.

I live in the Netherlands and use t-mobile.

In my perception the reception is very good compared to other mobiles.

Not yet mate.
Still charging at the moment. I'll check it out once charging is done.

I'm using my N900 with T-Mobile USA, only get 3.5G when I'm using data. When it's voice only, I get 3g.

I'm actually experiencing a weird issue with my N900. If I don't set my phone to 3G only, when I hit 2.5G or 2G, while I'm using data, the phone won't reconnect on edge. Basically data doesn't work what so ever when voice is on 2G or 2.5G. I know for sure it's not the sim or network's issue because I'm using the same card on my old phone and I don't have any issue with edge.

Interesting that, I want to give it a try, where do you go to set it to non-3G (using GSM only)?

Have you try Dual mode?

Nevermind, found it. I'll give that a go now.

The phone use dual mode. I set it to 3G only seeing how my phone can't connect to edge. As for your question, yes. If you set it to GSM only, you'll get 2G and 2.5G depending on your area.

Yay!
Showing 3.5G now

Had it on 3G only mode. Only show 3.5G when I started web browsing.



That's pretty cr@p to be honest on 3.5G
But probably because O2-UK 3G network sucks

That is right.
On my N95 it showns 3G. But when I am actively connected and browsing over the connection, the phone shows 3.5G during the active connection.

Once disconnected it goes back to idle showing just 3G again.
