HSPA uses the same bands as UMTS/WCDMA ("3G"), so you'd get the same EDGE speeds as you do now. It wouldn't get better with TelCel either since their 3G network is 850MHz which is not supported by the N900.

I see. Thanks on clarifying! Any rumors of a Mexican version of the N900?
I've been pondering on getting either a Nokia E71 or 6790 to serve as the N800 3.5G modem and GPS receiver.
What do you guys think of such an approach? Good idea? Possible? Would I be better of buying the N900?

Anyone notice that when a GPRS signal is lost, it can sometimes take over a minute to reacquire a connection, even after entering a strong signal area? Longest was four minutes.

First "phone" I have had that does this.

Same here. I love my phone but this is a problem. Do we have defective units that need to be exchanged or is this happening with everyone?

since this thread is about GPRS/Edge for n900. i have a question.

I have n900 bought from USA to India. I am using local service provider (AIRTEL). I have their plan active which means i can use their edge/gprs.

but it is not working in n900. the settings are not proper and people at local nokia showroom and center are of no help and neither people at service provider. they say its not launched yet in India so no information.

is there any way i can get it working?

thanks

Whenever I go to a basement that can't get the GSM signal the N900 stays off-line. Later, when I get back to an area where the signal is strong it takes more then a couple minutes to come back on-line. However, if I switch it to offline mode and then to online mode, it gets the signal in a few seconds.

Maybe the N900 is programmed to search for a signal at longer intervals when it loses it... What do you think?

Do you get any signal at all for making normal calls?
