Apps to scan for mobile networks & show strength / 3G?

    Hi,

    I'm looking for an app to scan for and show which mobile networks are available (like the phone does when you go to manual network selection).

    But I'm looking for information about the strength of the signal of each network, and most importantly, whether each of them is 3G or not.

    I'd like to use this to choose which mobile broadband USB stick I should get.

    I have a desire, you can check in Menu > Settings > About Phone > Signal Strength for your own network and it will tell you if 2g or 3g too.

    Doubt you will be able to check other networks without one of their sim cards.

    search the market for "Antennas" by mpoly only works when on 2g and with your own network, so you would need at least pre pay sim for each network to test them all to see which is best.

    I'd Like an app to do this too.
    was in london last week and my phone kept dropping off the data network.
    Would have been really handy to have an app to display Network info
