If these phones are 3G

How are they selling them in the US?

I'd be suprised if they make 2 versions of each, one for UMTS @ 2100Mhz (Europe) and another @ 1900Mhz (US).

If, you read Rich's Article, he said that Nokia plans to launch the N91(the 3G phone) in Europe and Asia, but they will bring that phone here as a Tri-Band phone, instead of the true 3G capability it has with the UMTS, or HSPDA. He put in the article that it will come to the US, a couple of months after it launches in Europe and Asia.

Most phones come to Europe and Asia, before they hit the US.

ACtually check again. It has says that the Us speds are not anounced. It is very possible this could be part of the first few phones released for 3g in the US.

Nokia hasn't announced the specifics of how they will come to the U.S., only that they aim to make it happen.

Much of it depends on the timing. Because the N90 will come out fairly soon, it will probably be too early for Cingular's 3G network. Plus it simply may be to large and expensive for U.S. carriers to want it. But I could see Nokia selling it on their web site, and people could still use it with a carrier like T-Mobile.

The N91 won't come out in the U.S. until early 2006, by which time Cingular will have launched 3G, and Nokia will have had plenty of time to come up with a version for U.S. frequency bands, so the possibilities are wide open with that one.

The N70 probably won't see a U.S. release.
