I am woundering if anyone else can get 3g speeds using there K850i as a modem. I was talking to Sony (3 different times today) and first they told me to get a new sim card, then they said that the PC suite will not support 3g speeds but only gprs speeds. I am content with the gprs speeds but I hate know that I have access to something faster. If anyone else is having this problem or knows how to fix it that would be great.

Thanks in Advance

I do get a 3g symbol on my phone, yes. But Sony is telling me that their PC Suite will only operate on GPRS. I had seen in another thread that someone had a screen shot showing they were connected in 3g.
