Uh did you misunderstood something? The normal network we use is GSM (voice calls, sms, GPRS, I think EDGE as well) so that's why I said switch to GSM only rather than dual mode (means GSM and UMTS). I think if you switch to UMTS (3G) only, you cannot receive normal call/sms but only 3G calls which is the video call as well as MMS. If you use MMS then no choice have to be dual mode all the time lo.

I'm doing another charge of my battery and see if GSM only can last how long.

UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. UMTS is one of the emerging mobile phone technologies known as third-generation, or 3G. Third-generation systems are designed to include such traditional phone tasks as calls, voice mail, and paging, but also new technology tasks such as Internet access, video, and SMS, or text messaging.

One of the main benefits of UMTS is its speed. Current rates of transfer for broadband information are 2 Mbits a second. This speed makes possible the kind of streaming video that can support movie downloads and video conferencing. In a sense, UMTS makes it possible for you to enjoy all of the functionality of your home computer while you are roaming. By combining wireless and satellite cellular technologies, UMTS takes advantage of all existing options to result in the Holy Grail of 3G presentation: seamless transitions between WiFi and satellite.

UMTS went live as a network for the first time in Japan in 2001. Austria had its own network two years later. A handful of other European countries joined the UMTS bandwagon in the next two years, with South Africa and a few other African countries soon following suit. The U.S. has employed UMTS networks in several large cities, and the number is steadily growing.

UMTS is based on the Global System for Mobile (GSM) standard, which is the gold standard in Europe and more than 120 countries worldwide. In fact, UMTS is sometimes referred to as 3GSM. The two systems are not compatible, however. UMTS is incompatible with GSM. Some phones are dual GSM/UMTS phones, but unless that exciting new mobile phone or handset that you can't wait to get your hands on has that kind of duality built in, you will only be able to utilize one mode, the one that came with the device.

As UMTS gains in credibility and functionality, experts believe it will overtake GSM as the industry standard. UMTS is already able to operate at a higher frequency than GSM.

@missgeek
can u change the msn msger download to rapidshare?
coz i keep facing problem of using megaupload

i think UMTS covers GSM...which means if u activate UMTS, GSM will be activated as well...so if u use GSM only then 3G is not enabled...

Correcto mundo! But I tried setting it to only UMTS, when I went back to my hometown where there is no 3G network, my quality of reception is worse than when I set to dual mode or only GSM. So, I still say just put your phone in dual mode, because if u put only GSM, it will suck if when you want to surf the internet (max is Edge).

So mine I put in dual mode setting and I set my packet data connection (3G) to when available.

help i lost my dictionary how to install back?

Hmm I think UMTS also handle normal voice calls and SMS (perhaps everything that GSM offered). However, there must be a reason for the Dual Mode option exist. I think calls made with GSM only phones cannot be received by a UMTS only phone? I don't think the network can be translated since as your quoted info stated both network are not compatible with each other. I could be wrong, though...

Yup, UMTS can handle the same thing like GSM, just for internet/packet data it is with higher speed GSM only phone can't handle 3G/3.5G, which means no video call as the speed doesnt allow video conferencing. The reason for dual mode is of course if you want to use VOIP function of your phone (like Sykpe and the likes of it), which is obviously will use internet connection, the faster the connection, the better the call quality.

But I always set it to dual mode because I am using 3G esp in KL I always get the 3.5G speed. Not to say if I use GSM mode I can't go online, it's just really painstakingly slow and in the area where UMTS is not available, your phone reception will suck too. I found out about this when I went back to my hometown. At first I thot my phone got something wrong with the reception because my old phone were working fine. Turned out it's because of my settings, hehe.

Mostly related to firmware, just go flash the firmware lo RM30 is really worth it. Mine also AP and go flashed, it's working very well. Oh yeah guys if you want to check if your AP set is original Nokia phone with correct IMEI, try register at My Nokia, it should identify yours is a N95 8GB with just IMEI numbers.

What problem did you have with your phone?
