I'm in a village on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, I get 3G signal where as before on Orange i8510 I would only get 2G if anything. I've had no problem with calls just the occasional random signal drop.

On 3Uk, can't say I've seen this but have only had device active for < 48 hours.

Sensitivity seems a little better than my N96

Paul - yes, same with me but my thoughts are that with My N95 8gb, it only connected when it needed to -whereas the N900 stays connected all the time (except when there's WiFi available).

Come to think of it, I did get a fair number of connection errors on my N95 at one point but I seem to remember that a firmware upgrade cured that.

I'm using my N900 on vodafone in and around the Sheffield area and really struggle to get 3G coverage and sometimes any coverage at all.

I used to use o2 with an iphone and 3G coverage was great in the same areas.

Here in Norwich the Vodafone 3G and HSDPA coverage is pretty good, better than O2 for sure

Cheers,
Alex

im on o2 in southampton and portsmouth and am constantly switching between 2g, 2.5g and 3g networks. never a dead spot unless im at the missus house. can't get 3.5g unless i connect and use the net. i suspect this is a sim card issue. the girlfriends house is a nightmare, cant make its mine up what network speed it wants or get signal all.
