With 2.5 G the signal travels further than 3G, I have the same problem here. Its because 3G does not transmit as far as the 2.5g signals afriad.

Can be one of two things really 1) How high the base is and 2) How far away you are..

Hoping for another 3G to be installed here not so long I hope!!! The More the better...

Usually a third of the distance of a 2g.

What do you think of the N70? I upgraded from a 7610 on Voda and really like it (that said, I thought the 7610 was a great phone too)
