Here are my suggestions: - The "connecting" icon is the same swirling circles for all connection types. - The connection strength for wireless and 3G could be the current "bars" icon but with a 3G bubble in the corner. If that's too small then possibly different color bars would be sufficient? I believe that "switched off" is a subset of "no connection", so I would use something like this: - Empty bars icon with a slash through it. When the user clicks to connect to a network, it should show: "Wireless radio switched off" or "No wireless connections found" or a list of available networks to connect to. I think it would be useful for the community to voice a few sets of options so Mat can discuss with OEMs and maybe present a solution that works for both. -Andrew
