Does anyone else notice that there H+ service isnt thatstrong or is it the phone or what but miine seems like its always "Searching for networks" is this a different network than 3G? Or could it just be a poor antenna in the ph, the new bold is amazingly thin and an all around great ph but this searching for networks is a pain

Guys, FYI, there is no miraculous new H+ network! It's the same 3G network Rogers has been running for some time (HSPA+) - it's just be rebraded 4G (or H+).
If you had 3G reception with your last berry, you will have H+ - it's exactly the same!
Wow, I didn't know Bell phones didn't have a splashscreen. That's a little odd. Can someone with a Bell unit turn their phone off and on and just double check? Splashscreens only show up for about 2 seconds.

I have to disagree with this statement. I have a 9800 and just picked up a 9900. Both on Rogers and I just ran the test at texan.net/speed.htm
The torch came in at 917 Kbps
The new bold was 37090 Kbps
I know this is hard to believe, but others must be able to replicate these numbers.
Has anyone actually ran a Bell device on the Rogers network to confirm that the "H" appears? This was an early thread and no one actually confirmed it. I realize that this has nothing to do with speeds but simply about cosmetics.

1st of all, unless you ran your speed test over WiFi it won't be accurate. You cannot run a speed test to test your network as all data runs through RIMs servers which adds compression.
2nd, the carrier network is exactly the same, it's the Blackberry's radio that is different. The 9800 was only capable of attaining download speeds of upto 3.6 Mbps while the 9900 is capable of upto 14 Mbps.
