    ok both Vodaphone and Optus's 3G network do not work, only telstra's gets 3G.. What does this mean?

    telstra : UMTS 2100/850
    Optus :UMTS 2100/900
    Vodaphone:UMTS 2100/900

    Only telstra gives me 3G.. therefore.. I have a 850 UMTS n900 logically? :S Where UMTS 2100 does not work?
    Or is it something else??

    I have recieved official settings from all 3 networks and confirmed them.
    I have reset the phone settings to ensure there are no variables.
    I have tested the area I was in with multiple phones to confirm that there was 3G reception with all 3G networks.
    I have replaced my optus simcard with a new one,and tried a new optus, vodaphone simcard and they all had the same issue, no 3G.
    3G only works on the telstra simcard, instantly.
    Any ideas whats up?

    2100Mhz is supported frequency along with 900Mhz, most probably phone uses 2100Mhz Telstra frequency

    yes, but how do you explain the fact that both Optus and Vodaphone 3g doesn't work on my phone?

    Maybe because you paid for Telstra and not for Optus and Vodafone?

    Maybe neither of them have 3G coverage in your area.

    No, I am currently with Optus, where it only shows 2G (no 3G connection anywhere)
    I used my gf's simcard, who is on telstra, and I got 3.5g
    I bought a vodaphone simcard, and I only had 2G

    I know i have 3g coverage cause I have 3 other phones right next to me and they all currently pick up the Optus, Vodaphone, and Tesltra 3G signals. It is only the n900 that doesn't pick up Optus and Vodaphone 3G connections.



    The wierd part is the n900 uses UMTS900 and Telstra is UMTS850

    So what we are saying here is despite producing tens of thousands of N900's which don't work with this 3g frequency, Somehow Nokia's production line knocked out a single unit that does?

    if you're going to blurt you think you have a rare n900, why not tell us where you got it from? ebay? some corner street vendor? drug dealer? the store? the floor? the trash?
