You are 100% correct about the market and the market appeal for the typical US customer. If they want the high end nokia phones absolutely nothing is stopping them from buying one on ebay or an exotic cell phone store/site and sticking their SIM card in.

I bought an unlocked Nokia E61 back in september 2006 and still works like a champ.

And I would like to upgrade to another Nokia smartphone (symbian) but I haven't seen any supporting the upcoming T-Mobile's 3G network on the AWS bands.

The only Nokia phones that support such frequencies are a couple of flip-phones offered by T-Mobile, but these phones won't replace the functions my Nokia E61 provides me (eg. exchange push email)....

Oh well.... let's see what happens after T-Mobiles rolls out their 3g network 😁 !

There is somebody that is looking to adopt the n95 though which is obviously at&t they are currently looking at it that would be cool to buy it and get it unlocked.

if they ever roll it out, I'm just wondering why it has not been out yet..

According to TmoNews, T-Mobile will flip the 3G switch in the NYC market on May 1, also known as tomorrow (or today, or yesterday, etc. if you're reading this from the future!). Austin, Las Vegas, Minneapolis and Miami are the next to be lit up, and by the end of 2008, T-Mobile is planning to cover 20 markets. Right now, the carrier offers four 3G handsets, but we expect that number to increase, now that the technology is actually here. Hit the link for a full list of the cities.

😳 Wow! Wouldn't it be awesome if T-Mobile actually picked up a different handset other than the same stuff from Samsung and Motorola that they continuously do.

It just sucks in the US because more people still care about the deal they can get rather than thinking about what the phone will actually offer. Too bad we are in a corporate(carrier) controlled environment and the manufacturers can't make what they want for us as far as demand in the US!! 😢

I can only say that I really hope they do pick up SE and it looks like from what I am hearing that the Nokia lineup is going to change soon and a few of what they have in T-Mobile UK are coming over here!!!

check tmonews and cellphonesignal
W760 is confirmed by leaked info
the spec of Z780 matches "Bella"

you're one of blogger of tmonews, right
you should notice a post from boygeniusreport about 2 SE phones
W760 is known now
by the brief spec provided for Bella, Z780 is the closest match
by esato forum, a member Maximys stated Z780 is Bella (and posted 3 weeks ago)

keep finger crossed

Who and what I am is not relevant to this discussion. What is man is that you see every new 3G phone out lately and talk about how its coming to T-mobile, that if they added this band, that band or if they added a dishwasher and a dry cleaning service it would come to T-mobile.

Honestly, bro you need to chill on the excitement for device launches. Until someone like Tmonews,boygenius, engadget comes out and specifically says this phone has the 1700 band or a picture surfaces with T-mobile markings you need to RELAX.

Obviously yes we want these phones but if the major major bloggers aren't discussing the T-mobile prospects why should you, an unknown entity start discussing hopes and dreams.

not really
I didn't point out W760 till it's posted on cellphonesignal, as well as Bella
the latter one, I did a web search, and got an unbelievable answer: P5, and I didn't believe at all
and lately SE announced Z780, the spec is match with Bella, that I suspect it will come to T-Mobile
and I don't point every single 3G phone will come to T-Mobile, I have to do some web research before putting any speculation

I don't mind it's whether E66 or E71 (and hope this RM model will be either above)
E66 and E71 is a mix of Eseries and basic Nseries (it equips 3mpx AF cam with light, like N73)
