3G bothers me. I asked the sales rep if 3G had solid coverage nationwide, and she said "of course." But my phone is constantly flickering from H (What the Hell?) to 3G.
The H just means that a data connection has been initiated at HSDPA speeds. It'll sit at 3G when there's nothing accessing the data connection. (Or if for some reason there's no HSPA level access and it's using normal 3G data rates, I assume.) HSDPA is basically a technology that provides faster download speeds than stock UMTS/WCDMA 3G.
