nokia n8 can function on the following frequencies (taken from wiki)
Operating frequency:
Quadband GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
Pentaband WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100
Automatic switching between WCDMA & GSM bands

China Unicom provides 3g on WCDMA frequencies i have heard
and
China telecom provides 3g on CDMA 1x EV-DO.

This means that with the nokia's specs and if I want to be on the 3g network i should opt for getting an SIM from China Unicom, correct? Please no smarta$$ answers.
 
I just got out of China Mobile, and it is true, just as the iPhone, they don't provide 3G services for the Nokia N8. China Unicom is. Going there now to get a new phone number ;-(
