From those preview videos. The N900 should be showing 3.5G
AFAIK most phones only display 3.5G icon when device is actively trasmitting data in the background. However, it depends on both 3G network implementation AND specific device software whether to display that icon while idle.
Nonetheless, that's interesting what you're seeing there. Did you try putting different network's SIM card into N900?

Not yet mate.
Still charging at the moment. I'll check it out once charging is done.
I'm using my N900 with T-Mobile USA, only get 3.5G when I'm using data. When it's voice only, I get 3g.
I'm actually experiencing a weird issue with my N900. If I don't set my phone to 3G only, when I hit 2.5G or 2G, while I'm using data, the phone won't reconnect on edge. Basically data doesn't work what so ever when voice is on 2G or 2.5G. I know for sure it's not the sim or network's issue because I'm using the same card on my old phone and I don't have any issue with edge.

Interesting that, I want to give it a try, where do you go to set it to non-3G (using GSM only)?
The phone use dual mode. I set it to 3G only seeing how my phone can't connect to edge. As for your question, yes. If you set it to GSM only, you'll get 2G and 2.5G depending on your area.
Elsewhere it's been noted that 3.5G only shows when you're actively using the data connection. Is that the issue?
That is right.
On my N95 it showns 3G. But when I am actively connected and browsing over the connection, the phone shows 3.5G during the active connection.
Once disconnected it goes back to idle showing just 3G again.
