Is my 3G faulty?

I have had my 3G for a couple of weeks now but I suspect it may be faulty. Quite often I have trouble surfing the internet or recieving emails due to bad connection. This happens even though my phone is getting a full 3G signal. It is happening right now, it is taking over 30 seconds to open the google page and sometimes it says safari has stopped responding due to a server problem (or something like that), when checking for emails it just says connecting until I give up and close the app. This is happening from my current location (in the office) but yesterday it was fine from the same place. Without the internet connection I would be better off with my old nokia N95 8Gb.

Is my phone faulty or is this a common problem?

Re: Is my 3G faulty?

Quite often my W595i does this. I only really use it for the Google Mail app and the odd bit of browsing / Youtube, but sometimes, even though I have a 3G/HSDPA signal and good strength, it refuses to work.

Turning it off and on works but it seems weird that would cure it :S
