    Has anyone had similiar problem with other mobiles?

    Three themselves couldnt help me.
    The phone came from the US And is fully unlocked.

    I also tried a meteor and vodafone sim and they work perfectly!
    When i do a manual scan it only picks up o2, vodafone and meteor.
    It is a 900/1800 mhz mobile so it should work.

    I wonder what service three are hiding.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Probably have leave three network now :(

    THREE are only on the 2100 Mhz band.

    So is meteors, Vodafone and o2 3G coverage, you can't pick up 3G from any network on the sidekick. The phone is just not compatiable.
