only other thought iso check if there there is some setting you accidentally nudged that tells it to go 2g if the signal is stronger, or some such ? |
I don't think their map is very sophisticated. They're just taking whatever all of the different global carriers tell them.
Vodafone UK has added a note to their coverage map under the 3G section:
"If your phone's over two years old, it may not connect to every bit of our 3G network. Log in to My Vodafone to see if you can upgrade now. You could leapfrog a generation to a 4G-ready phone".

They don't offer an option to just show the coverage for older devices.
Looking at the diagnostics on the Kindle, it is not picking up any 3G (W-CDMA) cells at all. I have borrowed a Kindle Keyboard from a relative, and this too is only able to connect to EDGE, so I'm sure it's just the network not offering 3G on a compatible frequency anymore.
