    My Nokia allows Dual mode (GSM/UTMS) or Just GSM

    My iMate Jasjar allows me to set dual, gsm or UTMS

    I had a quick look at the manual for the E770 and there is an option Settings, Network, perhaps you might find an option here?

    Why would you want to set a phone to 3G only?

    because if he's on the edge of a 3g area it'll try to latch onto the weak 3g signal instead of the strong 2g singal and end up getting no coverage at all.


    OP, you're better off looking for a way to select 2g only since that signal is far more widespread

    As far as I know you go to Network Setup in Settings but you can't set it to 3g only. It's automatic which switches between the two or 900/1800 which is gsm here. Pick 1900 and you'll get nothing.

    I went into network setup and tried all the bands and one WCDMA 2100 gets me a 3g only signal:)

    When I'm in Dublin I lock my phone on the 3G network since I'd expect that all the background searching in dual mode would consume more battery power. And I don't see the point in having a 3G phone to lock it on GSM tbh.
