blackberry not connecting to 3G

i bought a blackberry torch 9810 from an RS member thats rogers branded but unlocked. I put my sim card in and everything seems to be working but when i tried to browse the net or log in to facebook it tells me that i do not have a data network. There is an H+ symbol beside the reception bar instead of a 3G. is there a special setting im suppose to do or something i have to do in order to make it run on 3G?

My provider is Fido by the way.

i got it to work now. it was a really hard process. i had to throw it in the corner floor 5 times, yell at it for being a worthless piece of device, give it an evil stare for 5 minutes and whisper backstabbing words at it.


but in seriousness, i just took off the simcard and put it back in and suddenly it worked. but the symbol i have is still H+ which means im using HSDPA. is there a big difference or are they the same?

H+ is fine. The phone is capable of HSDPA speeds @ a theoretical 14.4Mbps. 3G speeds are limited to 7.2Mbps.
