Which one is faster, and how to i get 3g like some of the promo pictures of the arc show it with '3g' written instead? can someone explain this to me thanks

If you see a 3G symbol that is also fast but not as fast as HSDPA. Hope that is clear enough?? Have you got 3G/HSDPA coverage in your area & which network is it?? Also 3G/HSDPA coverage is not widespread as 2G still but is always improving & may not be in your area on certain networks. [ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2011-10-26 00:31 ] Phone??

You'll get nothing but 3g on standby and HSDPA (H) upon data connection, hope it helps Ericsson EH97, GA628, GF768, A2618s, T29s Sony Ericsson T68i, S700i, P990i, Z558i, W902, W995, X10, Arc S Xperia VWhiteBlack MW600Sandisk Mobile Ultra 64GB microSDXC*
