without root, or even with it, I'm not sure this is possible, you can most likely find an app in the market that will tell you quickly what you are on.. or maybe even a widget from the market that says it. Also what is umts?

It's possible there are no indicators outside of CDMA technologies for whatever reason.

UMTS is a high speed GSM technology.

umts is another name of HSDPA in italy....

i intend this icon



that indicates if i'm connected on edge,3g,gprs,hsdpa ecc... to show them i need to root the phone or to install an application? but i found them in the manual...

I am using mine in Qatar, same type network, and mine gets all of those icons in the status

Are you on a data plan? If you aren't connected to data, then you won't see those

i will try next week to enable a data plan and try... i will keep you informed...

This is a good point. These are data connection indicators afterall. My old Eris, being unregistered at this point, doesn't show a 3G connection despite the 3G radio being connected because it's not registered for data.
