I have at&t (using the phone as a modem) and the signal is HSDPA out here in the sticks upstate NY (take that T-Mobile!!),although it switches back to EDGE (2G to you techies). I do hope they boost the data speed because the most I can wring out of this phone (courtesy of the CNET bandwith meter widget from Yahoo!) is about 520kbps. Have unlimited data;no,I don't have a data connect plan,I just use the SE USB cable and use the phone as a modem,since out here we DO NOT HAVE BROADBAND!!! At least the phone comes reasonably close to broadband,but it still isn't Cable speeds,much less DSL.
