Hi All!

Had a look but can't see any posts that answer my question which is: how do I force my Diamond to use HSDPA when browsing. I am with Vodafone and I have had the HSDPA icon show occasionally but usually browsing defaults to GPRS:(.

Any help welcomed:)

Answering my own question

Hi All!

I was trying out my Browser at work in Edinburgh. I have just now tried the MS Internet Explorer browser (with wi-fi switched off). It connects using H (HSDPA) Duh!:p

i dont believe it's possible
gprs, edge, umts hspda it's all the same
signal just with the right connection
and quality the speed inc
from the pda's point of view it's the same thing
only the speed changes

You can't force it to use HSDPA. It all depends on what the coverage is like where you are when you use your browser. If you have wifi on and you are connected, it will default to that connection regardless whether you are in a HSDPA enabled area, just 3g or GSM.
