Hi,
I got a new O2 3G sim card a couple of days ago and there is a new service icon that appears in my k850, it's a blue square with "H" inside it, it appears in sme places while in other places a similar square with "3G" inside it appears instead.
Does it stand for hdspa? what does it mean when it comes on instead of "3G" (my understanding is that hdspa is part of 3G).
Is there a reference for all these service icons? I am suprised they are not mentioned in the user guide that came with the phone, are they operator specific?
Cheers

yes it does mead hsdpa
it's a faster 3G so to speak.
My Orange version has shown it once !!!
As to the icons - have you tried SE's own manual ?

Hi,
Which manual are you talking about, the box only came with a user guide, which didn't explain service icons, the same one I managed to find in pdf format on SE's website http://www.sonyericsson.com/c[....]29087/K850i__UG_R1a_EN_24.pdf. If you have a link to a full manual I would really appreciate it.
Cheers

hi there yer i have the same sign h on my phone when ever im near a hospital. so is it some fink to do with 3g then just the signal is stranger.

On the k850i:
By the signal bars there will be either a tiny letter G, E or nothing. The G means "GPRS" - quite slow. The E Means EDGE - faster GPRS, but not as fast as 3G.
If you see a seperate, bluey 3G icon, it means your phone's found a 3G signal. H means HSPDA, which is far faster than 3G.

O2 at present are rolling out HSDPA services in some parts of the country.
I have only got H on one occasion and that was at Gatwick

I've had H and E on both my K850 and my S500.Mostly when at my girlfriends house.I'm on o2 uk as well.
