After that the data connection did not work. I changed the db3 file (thanks guys) and now 3G or (single) G is visible at the left of the signal strength. The single G apparently when 3G is to weak.
edit: 3G is only visible if there is no WiFi. The WiFi signal icon is displayed on the same spot. When WiFi comes on, its icon is displayed next to the 3G, after a short while it moves to the 3G spot.

I used the following settings and procedure, all on win XP
- unpacked (various levels of) the original German webOSdoctor.jar by using 7ZIP to be able to access the CarrierNetworkSettings.db3file
webosdoctorp100eww-wr\resources\webOS\nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs.tar\nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs\usr\lib\luna\CarrierNetworkSettings.db3

-Opened the DB3 database in sqlite tool.

- Using the browse data tab of sqLite, displayed carrierNetworkSettings table and located tmobile NL (I looked for KPN, noted their MCC (country code,first col) and looked up all MCC's with that code and found my tmobile)

- toke note of the ID value of tmobile (almost at the end of the record)

- searched for that same ID in the dataconnections table (again using the browse data tab)

- there were 2 entries, T-Zones GPRS and T-Mobile MMS. There was no pure GPRS for tmobile

- I used the T-zones entry and changed the following 4 entries by double clicking on the each value and don't forget apply change on each value
Field names: apn apnid cshnUserName cshnPassword
orig values: internet-act 359 tmo tmo (359 just for reference. no change)
into new value : internet 359 tmobile tmobile

I left 2 other fields as they were: supportedService serviceDefault values: 1 1
- saved the database
- transferred that file as explained in ....

This also means that regionName entry in the DB did not matter in my case I left it alone, so it still says 'T-Zones GPRS'. I know from my treo 680 that this is a different service from 'pure' GPRS. The 650/680 could not use the zones one and also needed a 'pure' GPRS entry.

Excellent...just modified my db3 file for T-Mobile NL and 3G/GPRS works.

thanks man
