On-screen HSDPA indicator

1 replies · 3,235 views · Started 28 April 2007

Hi,

I've read somewhere else that when you're receiving an HSDPA signal, an "H" appears on the phone in place of the usual "3G" indicator. I know this to be true on some other phones but since getting mine on 3rd April, I've never once seen this and it's not mentioned anywhere I've looked.

Thing is, it's just annoying that I'd resigned myself to having to rely on what would appear to be faster speeds during browsing and downloads, (especially when the phone is connected to my notebook) as an indicator of being within HSDPA coverage.

Can anyone confirm the existence of this "H" indicator or tell me it doesn't in fact exist?

Thank you.

Certainly the N95 user guide makes no mention of an "H" indicator.
