I have just swapped my Nexus one for a desire z on Monday and I haven’t seen the 3g symbol show up yet. For the last 6 months I have been with 02 on there 30 day rolling contract (simplicity) and with my nexus it would only drop the 3g signal when I went to work. I have spoken to a couple of my friends who have the older desire and they both say the very rarely get the 3g symbol.
Do HTC do 3g phones ()Desire
desire and nexus are certainly 3g devices

I get a 'G' or an 'H'. I have rarely got an 'E' or '3G'. Clearly, this is dependent on your provider.
As I understand it, in order of better connection speed it goes G -> 3G -> E -> H
I have seen G, E & H on my desire but haven't noticed 3G

Not quite, its G -> E -> 3G -> H.
E (edge) is like an enhanced 2G network connection. And I've rarely seen it at all.
To the OP - is the phone set to "2G network" only?
@ SonyJunkie - Nope. In order of Speed (lowest to highest
G is GPRS - Slowest
E means EDGE - Kind of like 2.5G
3G
H means HSDPA - Fastest
Some phones won't show H they'll simply show 3G whether it's regular 3G or HSPDA.

On another note, my Desire doesn't like loading pages when 3g is shown. It loads fine on G or H though. Weird.

I see E and G mainly with a very rare flicker of H

Just checked and it is set to GSM/WCDMA auto

that's what's supposed to happen - you don't need hsdpa/3g when you're connected to wifi
EDIT
in fact I don't think you'll see g or e either because you don't need the cellular network for data at all!

I don't understand. I said when I'm away from my home wireless. What I mean is that I leave both 'mobile network' and 'wireless network' enabled. The wireless is the default so that is used whenever possible, but when I go outside of that range the 'mobile network' kicks in, always using 'H'.
I usually get H and 3G on my Desire, sometimes E, but I know in that area is no 3G yet. I use 'GSM/WCDMA auto'.
