Switching to 'when available' will hammer your battery life, so switch it back to 'when needed' unless you are constantly using t'internet.

3/3.5g will only hammer your battery if you stay in very marginal coverage areas for more than a few hours. If you live and spend most of your life in the city, then just leave it set to use everything - you wont notice much difference at all in battery life.

where is the HSDPA tab for this option? I havnt seen it on my n95
