I'm in Christchurch. I've never ever noticed HSDPA anywhere in Christchurch before. Even in the central city. I live about 10 minutes from the centre of the city and I got HSDPA coverage for a few seconds last night and haven't seen it since!

Hopefully yeah. I can get 3G quite easily though it does disappear and come back as it pleases, but never HSDPA until last night.

It's not the network, it's the Vodem. I gave up using mine after it returned a download speed 1/2 that of my V640i in the same area.
@M-O
I've only seen the 3G+ symbol in two places in Auckland - Silverdale just north of Auckland and Unitec in Mt Albert. Despite this I get speeds faster that 3G at home (800 - 1400 kbps) with out seeing the 3G+ symbol so I wouldn't rely on the symbol to determine whether you're getting HSDPA or not.
I upgraded the RAM on my laptop yesterday from 256MB to 2.0GB and whoa what a difference! Everything runs faster, I can open multiple Word and PPT documents effortlessly while running my Java Software, run Anti Virus and Anti Spyware programs in the background without a performance loss and even run iTunes without slowing everything else down. Just Awesome. Looking forward to seeing if I get a download speed increase too.
Next up is a HDD upgrade once I fiqure out how to painlessly clone my old 40GB HDD. I gonna go for the largest available which I think is 320GB, but not for a little while yet. My laptop uses IDE not SATA HDD; 320GB should be plenty because I'm storing Handycam video not HD/Blueray DVD video.

Me too... looks like I have scored an X1 before I leave! haha. I had the choice between C905 or X1 and the X1 won. Its so sexy. Feels like its made of iron or something indestructible anyways. The C905 feels very plastic. Similar to the N96. A real nice menu speed though. Not all slow like the W595 and W980. Roll on Wednesday! I just hope I dont have to install that Windows Mobile Bluetooth stack to get it to work with my watch...
