I've been using my N97 for the past serveral months.
Got an iPhone 3GS 2 weeks ago, been using that while I wait for my N900
Got my N900 today

Anyone that's the background, straight to the point.
It seems to me the N97 is the only device that gets 3.5G signal.

I have never seen an '3.5G' icon on the iPhone 3GS for the past 2 weeks, even walking about in the city centre where I know it's coveraged by 3.5G, it's still only showing 3G. Does the iPhone 3GS show '3.5G' instead if you're in HSDPA area?

Anyway, my N900 is still charging at the moment.
I have been checking it up from time to time but noticed the same issue as the iPhone 3GS, no 3.5G signal.
  • The phone is placed at my usual 'phone area' exactly where the N97 was, where the N97 always get HSDPA signal.
  • I am using the same sim card, contract sim (O2-UK)

Only N97 has managed to pick up 3.5G so far.

iPhone 3gs never shows 3.5g

I can't pass comment on n900 yet, but would have thought it would be in the manual?

Elsewhere it's been noted that 3.5G only shows when you're actively using the data connection. Is that the issue?

Then again, S60 (in my experience, not N97) does the same so I'm guessing you're already familiar with that.

Am I the only person here who can't afford to buy an iPhone 3GS just for 2 weeks use as a stopgap?

No, it shows when you have 3.5 signal.

From those preview videos. The N900 should be showing 3.5G

I'm gonna put another O2 sim into the N97 now.
