Here's my opinion on the subject, I recently joined the ever problematic network MTN but to my surprise the 3G coverage in my area is outstanding, okay okay back to the point, I myself decided to lock on to UTMS Band because when I walked from my bedroom to the lounge I would get disconnected off Mxit, that was because my phone was switching between UTMS and GSM! So I had to lock on to 3G, have not regretted my decision yet, works fine no disconnections and always high speed downloads. So as I read some where else you should always have atleast one bar of 3G signal anywhere if not phone your operator and tell them to increase coverage, they will come out and test the signal if it is low they will up it trust Me!!!!!!!! I vote 3G lock (^^,) |

HSDPA is stable if you're on an EDGE signal.. My place has only GPRS so my HSDPA is unstable..

almost all sony ericsson phones don't have 3G lock, so it means SE phones are not stable in downloading??

i hate dual mode, in my room i got 2 to 4bar(full) but sometimes fall at 1bar and causes it to switch at gsm, and what i hate is, it takes time to switch back to 3g(actually sometimes it never did  )
also download speed is slow
using cgi downloading 50mb(actually i never had downloaded it i realized the cgi has 10min limit  )
dual mode - 25-35kbs
3g - 38-44kbs
so i prefer gsm and 3g lock, i never switch to dual mode again. |

so it means SE sucks it terms of downloading because of lack of 3G lock,i conduct an experiment in nokia n70 i tried downloading an mp3 3.5mb size less than 2mins but n70 don't have 3G lock,and it outran may old k800i with same dual mode setting, i can't believe it that time.

yeah that's a problem with n70c and n70me has no umts(except n70ie it has umts),
but it can be locked using phoenix.
I wonder what is the outcome. |

fyi N70 classic has a feature of 3g lock in his latest firmware. Kakaupdate ko lang ng latest firmware at ito agad napansin ko nagka 3g lock na ang N70 ko

The problem with Nokia N70 is there is no way to patch its permission settings to always allowed not unless we used a signed version of an application
