the network.svgz is incomplete, it still needs the bars for LTE, EDGE, GPRS. The string "3G" should be changed to "UMTS" and HSPA is not exactly the same as HSDPA.

> I currently only respected the Plasma SVG icon case, i.e. when you do not use SVG graphics, it uses the generic phone icon still, as we do not yet have a icon naming spec for such cases and do not have icons either, so the tooltip and popup have the generic phone icon.
