I know that, and I usually use only 2G or 3G, never work with dual mode becz of it. My issue is different it goes zero beyond some place and never comes back even while its in coverage area!! :) While I am browsing, everything will be fine until it goes to 0 bars and > comes > back with full signal.

Use 2g or 3g alone (Nokia u got net mode selection, think there's option for frequency selection in Samsung and others!) to solve it! > > As the 3G coverage improves, this problem should go away over the years. > > its got nothing to do with 3g coverage as far as I understood, it happens even when you're right next to the tower! Its with phone's mode selection stuff!
