3/H3G has exactly the same problems With NEC e606. The handset
batteries last 2-3 hours with intense data usage and a 10 hours with
average voice calls.
The handover between UMTS and GSm cells is not supported so when you
pass from UMTS to GSM you loose the call and data.
Data is really undependable and connected to a PC is capable of a peak
of 10kbs downstream....
Bluetooth is limited only to data connection so you can use it to
connect
the Nec e606 to a PC for modem use.
Finally... the interface is ages behind any Nokia in usability...
I hope this will change with the new Motorola A920:
