Keep in mind that 3G UMTS is 100% a noise driven network You can have signal from multiple sites but if the signal to noise is too high you will not setup a connection.

In my case it does serve a useful purpose to be able to lock it on 3g only. Edge service is barely usable at my house, but 3g works great (1 bar if you're lucky on edge, usually upwards of 3 bars, sometimes full service on 3g). I use the e screen to do it.
