Anyone know if the 3G compatibility patch works to stop this phone from repeatedly rebooting? Or if Amazon's phone are no longer affected by this bug?

The patch certainly didn't work that's why I returned it. In my case when I connect to 3g data and browse rebooting occurred a few times but mostly the phone went to a frozen mode with bright lit screen. The only solution is to pull the battery out and restart. But on 2g the phone worked fine. This occurred exactly in my Nokia 701 also.

I bought mine before the patch. I didn't have that many reboots, but I did have some. After the update, the reboots have basically stopped. I think I had one reboot the other day, but it was due to a new app that sucked and made the phone crash.

The 3G compatibility patch didn't fix my problem (AT&T in Houston TX) but I sent the phone in (to Nokia directly) for warranty repair a couple of months ago and they replaced it - the replacement works great.

It seems to support the 850, 1900 & 2100mhz 3g (HSPA/HSDPA/UMTS) frequencies. I bought 1 for my mom hoping that it would work for T Mobile's 3g here in the States. It does pick up here and there in the Dallas Texas area but usually remains at 2g for most of the time. that would mean that this version does not support the 1700 mhz frequency. as someone else already replied, t Mobile is rolling out there 1900 frequency coverage to support the iPhone so it is getting better. the description on this item doesn't specify which version the phone is, but multiple types exist, however the 1 I purchased from Amazon was , apparantly, the 1900/2100 frequency type.

Only thing I have heard issues with is new Tablets. Freinds has a S3 and never complained.

Ditto what Palbah said, it's the 3G version. I actually ordered a few of them in the event one or two malfunctioned (see early reports of quality control issues). All have worked fine. In the event of a "freeze" (as happened with one unit) just remove the battery, re-insert, and reboot.

I just got it. No, 3G doesn't work. It doesn't work with AT&T; either, just tried it today.

My S3 was able to upgrade to 4.4.2 last week, my service is with AT&T and it shouldn't matter if it locked or unlocked as my other phone is unlocked and was updated to 4.4.2 as well.

My phone working, maybe it has a problem. Why don't you contact with Amazon?

The Network carrier is Sprint - My phone stopped working suddenly, I called LG and they said I must have dropped it and refuse to fix it at no charge although it was still under warranty, they offered to repair for the price of the phone, LOL ! - So beware !

I'm using this phone with Straight Talk (on AT&T; network) and the phone functions, but I'm not getting an LTE connection (only HSPA). Working to resolve the issue.

So there is a trend here. I even changed the APN, but no luck. My phone was also from Samsung Australia. Someone reading from BrightPoint or Amazon should take a look. May be that whole batch of phone has defective 3G radios or something like that. Also, in spite of checking for updates dozens of times, the ICS version was stuck to 4.0.1, whereas I read that lot of people are on 4.0.4

Hey.I've actually bought this i9000T and in the back of the box it says "850" for 3g so, unless they miss the number on the box, it should be supported :DI didn't tested on the phone though. Do you know any app in the store that I can add to the phone to check that in the phone itself?Maybe spanish.Vivo en Uruguay y me compre este teléfono justamente porque maneja 850 Y 2100 para 3G. En Uruguay, una de las compañias maneja ambas frecuencias para 3G por lo cual voy a tener mas cobertura que con el i9000 SIN T ya que el i9000 solo maneja i9000. No lo he probado en URuguay (porque no volví todavía) pero un amigo lo tiene y le funciona con 850.Thanks,Alex.

3G is a lousy connector. I got one and was a series of aggravating experiences. If you require a good phone get a phone with 4G.

Anybody having trouble using 3G data with AT&T;? My 5800 is showing excellent 3.5G signal but when I try using data it just gives me an error message. It works fine if I keep the phone in GSM-mode though...EDIT: An extremely stupid design choice in AT&T;'s SIM card structure. Even though I had a 3G capable sim card, it wasn't 3G-enabled so couldn't use the data (but oddly enough could use the bandwidth to talk to people. If anyone else has this problem, just go talk to someone at AT&T.;

Yes, we had the same issue, purchased the phone in Amazon and activated through the Verizon service via phone. No issue. Works great.

And more importantly, what are the new features of this compared to the older one? Hopefully, there is support for iPhones since it has fried one of my older iPhones. I refuse to try it with any 3G modeled iPhone.

I am not selling this, Amazon is. But in answer to your question about the version, it is ver 2.2, the latest available and it does work with most any 3G/4G USB device. Worked right out of the box for me in Costa Rica after I had tried other brands to no avail.
