4G On 9780?
Just looked up the network capabilities of the 9780 on Bell, it said it uses 4G...yet my phone says it's connected to the 3G network..am I missing something here?

That's "4"G, aka faux G, aka 3.5G, aka HSPA+
- 05-23-2012, 02:33 AM #4 no, the 9780 only has EDGE and 3G, no H+.

It does have HSPA, but not HSPA+. Sorry, only 3/3.5G. 4G isn't for a long time in reality.
Enjoy what you have!

- 06-05-2012, 10:48 PM #8 Your 3G bands don't match hers, you cannot get 3G until you either switch carriers or buy her phone. Sorry, but that's reality. Originally Posted by mianyu
