ok, if your in an area that has equal 2.5 and 3G signal the phone will bounce between the two, not a big deal IMO. 3.5G is only used in data transfer, so yes if you have widgets that pull from the cloud your going to see alot of hopping back and forth from the different networks.

It also makes no sense for the phone to bounce to edge when I could be on 3G. Isn't that what you would call a bug?

Many of these issues are resolved when a new sim card is used and/or IMEI is registered.
I have not done this. I need to try. Thanks for comment!

My signal strength is marginally better than it was with the c905. I work in a seriously dead spot for all the networks. The good bit is that unlike other phone, n900 battery seems to hold up despite having to keep sucking for connection.

As for flv, there's support in Extras-devel that's being tested as we speak.

BTW, I had my IMEI number registered with Tmo just now, so hope to see GPRS improvements.
