I have an SE C905 & displaying on the screen next to the signal strength is a box with "H" in it, it fluctuates between a H & 3G, mostly showing "H" anyone known what the "H" means please?

Basically, its what the phone uses for data transfer when there is not a full 3g signal.”
Why do you think that?
High Speed Downlink Packet Access is a faster 3G connection.
Technically though, 2G (second generation) is the name attached to GSM, GPRS and EDGE, where as 3G (third generation) is the name attached to UMTS and HSDPA.

However, the improvements which give a faster upload also enable a faster download.

Really? I have not heard such a thing. HSDPA facilitates a faster and more efficient download. HSUPA does not. Unless you can point me in the direction of something which says otherwise.
From what you are saying, when T-Mobile became the first HSUPA-enabled network we'd all have seen an increase in our download efficiency. Which isn't the case. What did improve download efficiency was upgrading the HSDPA network.
thanks for clearing this up i always thought is meant home, as it always changes to 3G when i get a few miles away from my home now i feel so silly lol.
