Well, to make things more interesting. Only yesterday-evening I powered down the phone to make sure I could test again today with a clean state. And today the signal icon gives _no signal_ at work the whole day, however most (if not all) apps do have Internet access. But I cannot call out, instead I get the message: "Mobile network not available."
3G or HSDPA (I don't know what it is using right now) works flawlessly ! So apparently you don't need a Mobile network for having 3G :) They should call it Networkless WAN :-D
Switching Airplain mode ON and OFF solved this weird situation.
I need to blog about this.

I also noticed that airplane mode had some weird behavior today as well (the charging cable is loose and gets knocked out and hasn't charged overnight twice now). Toggling wireless while in airplane mode still enabled wireless. ISTR that my Incredible had airplane mode as a "keep everything off" rather than "turn it off, but toggling overrides it" behavior.
