I am located in Los Angeles, CA where Cingular soft launched the 3G network. The coverage on 3G is still very spotty at best and reception is much better on the 2.5G network. When my Samsung Blackjack is registered on 3G half of the time I can't make calls due to the weak signal. However, when 3G does work properly the voice quality is amazingly better. That is due to the AMR-HR being used on GSM calls. Eventually, when 3G does get better in my coverage area I would mind that the N95-1 does not have 3G support for the USA. But, then again the N75 is supposed to be released shortly which does support USA 3G.
