I joined 3 mobile on X-series gold in January
with a Nokia N73, to cut along story short
it got damaged and i ended up using a V3xx

Now I see HSDPA is active at my location,
and I am thinking of getting a N95 to take
advantage of it,

But my question does it make a difference
to apps like Orb,Slingbox, or streaming
Internet radio or will these perform just
like they did on the non HSDPA N73

I have used X Series both on My N73 and now on my N95 - which depending on my location goes in tot 3.5g mode (Which I assume is HSDPA).

My experience is that the N95 is a little quicker than the N73 even without the 3.5g.

When in a 3.5G area Sling does not appear to be any different for me, but the quality I was getting was really good anyway. Orb quality does appear to be a little better. The loading of web pages is much quicker.

X series is better on the N95 - but I would say the N73 was a more stable phone.

The thing that does dissapoint me at the moment (which isnt really X-series related) is the streaming TV channels and 24/7 Football streams in particular - the quality is realy poor and I would have expected that to improve. This must be something to do with the source.
