i noticed that sometimes my phone lags when swtiching to hsdpa ...for instance loading a attachment or on opera it would take a minute then swtich to the H and immediatly start downloading but it lags to swtich sometimes and sometimes even cuts out. Any way of fixing the lag or swtiching? So that i can have faster connect swtich times per say.

It could well be the network. Two things to be aware of:
- swapping between GSM/EDGE and UMTS+HSDPA requires the radio change modes. It's a bit like roaming to a whole different cell group.
- HSDPA is an extension to UMTS data, and is activated by the cell (if the client is capable) in very quick bursts, depending on the volume of traffic already queued for that client and on other users (I think I heard it was up to 10 users per channel). When things are busy you may not get any HSDPA at all. Or you may get it in short bursts that come and go quicker than the 'H' display is updated on your screen.

thats def true , ...but for some reason on my co workers phone he seems to connect quicker then me from my observations. Upon launching a program lets say mobi tv or any prgram requriing a higher speed connection where its avaible .My hangs for a minute then connects while his swtiches and connects almost isntantly. I was thinking if there are any mods regi edits persay to increase the swtiching code but guess thats not available.

Perhaps changing your network type from 'auto' to

'GSM 900+1800 , UMTS 2100'

or whichever your network uses. The device might be testing all frequencies when it is on auto??
