first, thank you for answering.

I dont really need this like food or a doctor, its for fun.
sometimes i walk around and write down the cell ids and channels in my city to get an overview of the networks. for this i use the symbian FTD application with the N95. i also take pictures of the antenna installation and the towers. to have control over the channel the phone use is an interesting aspect too.
but I would not recommend to use this for heavy data transfers to often. sometimes the channels are used at several locations in one city or region so you interfere with other sites you dont know if
you lock the channel to a station what is not responsible for your area.
But sometimes you can have a call through any site on a hill, skyscraper or high tower up to 35 kilometers / 22 miles for fun.
Or switch to a station outside the city when the network is overloaded.
I like radiocommunication, its my hobby. i know that sounds funny for some but i am not the only one who does this.
After years of looking at this values while walking or driving around and searching new sites and i know much about the propagation of radio waves at this frequencies and antennas.
I also used fm radios for a long time and construct antennas for everything that transmitts or receives.

but its just for fun. sorry i am a (radio)geek.

now i know that there is no way get information about anything exept the cell-id and rssi. this is a pity.

i hope my english isnt to bad.


best regards
