Best Source for Unlocked Phones?

The Moto V551 is what I was leaning towards over the RAZR V3 but I'm curious about the new Nokia (6101/6102) that has sort of hit the market. It's a tri band and I want to know if I really need a quad band for overseas travel. Your thoughts?
This information completely clears up my confusion on this topic. Unfortunately it also tells me that the new Nokia 6101/6102 that many have been lusting over will not work for me.
SO, any recommendations for other quad band phones I might consider with very good reception since it seems I won't be able to get a Nokia? I had previously looked at the Motorola V551 but was steered away when I was told Nokias had the best reception.

I hope your travels will be filled with wonderful exper...

Do you do much travel overseas? If so, do you think I could do OK with a tri band phone (thinking about that new Nokia; whenever it actually hits the market in my area is another question)?
