First of all I am not a cellular network expert, so I don't know the exact differences with the current signal indication.
Secondly there is very little official N900 documentation on these matters. Most is found out by the Maemo community itself.
I doubt it if this info can be retrieved, but if you can point me to some commands....

Would be nice indeed, but in this case the question is also: how to retrieve this info?

That's why I explicitly mentioned the info is static. If I would make it dynamic, I would update it by changing values. I have been playing with that, but abandoned it when I couldn't get it working properly. Maybe I'll try a second time in the future.

I'll try this app in this scenario, soon
I did not have the opportunity to test it with any other operator than my default one, so please do test

P.s. QtMobility should be able to give a little more info (like if a dual sim card is used), but with this module loaded, PySide crashes everytime in my environment.
