N900 definitely supports the HSPA+ standard
- this states HSDPA and HSUPA support, but no data rates mentioned:

- this states 10Mbps down and 2Mbps up max rates:

@cfh11
curious why you don't think the hardware can support 21Mbps; I didn't think it could exceed 10Mbps myself, and just found out I was wrong. Do you have info on the max speed the N900 hardware can support?

@somedude
11kbps would drive me insane! is that a network limitation, or the device?

@mattbutsko
800 kBytes/sec is 6.4Mbps, so that's pretty good. Prior to this recent and unexpected jump to 15Mbps I would NEVER see speeds that fast. My previous data rates always topped out around 2Mbps (~250kBytes/sec).

I'm curious about your observations regarding the 3.5G symbol. I ALWAYS see it (even when I only got 250kBytes/sec) when I have an active data connection, and NEVER see it without a data connection. I'm using ALWAYS and NEVER literally here, not figuratively.
