8525 v. slow finding networks? Please explain.

[smoovebert]

Hi-

I recently upgraded my T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) to a Cingular 8525 (Hermes), which I unlocked thanks to these wonderful forums--I thought my Hermes was bricked b/c it wouldn't find any networks using either my australian vodafone or telstra sims down here in Sydney. Well, it turns out that it just takes several minutes before the phone will find the networks using either sim, even though my wizard using the same sims will find the networks straight away.

Any idea why this might be happening?

I have this problem with the radio rom 1.48.00. I upgrade the radio rom to 150.00, and work excellent. problem fixed.
