I've noticed that there is a massive speed difference between 3G and 3.5G which I'd like all the time. The phone goes into 3.5 when I'm using it directly, but won't if I'm tethering.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Is there a way to force the N900 to 3.5G?



cheers
Same thing here. First after the connection is up and running the download is 3-5 Mbit. I Made sure a download is running on my PC but it switched to 3G anyway. I can not force it to use 3.5G by starting the browser on the N900 an surf around.
I use O2 Germany by the way with a 5GB flat and I only used 300MB so far.

I did some testing and obviously when I connect via PC Suite the N900 switches to 3G immediately.

The same problem with bluetooth tethering.
