Nokia N95
N 95 G3 WCDMA 2100 and Cingular/T-mobile
Hello.
I was looking at the Nokia N95 and N series phones and in order to utilize the G3 speeds of ~384 Kbps, you must have phone that uses 850 or 1900 bands in the US. The N95 only has WCDMA 2100, so you would be stuck to the ~135 Kbps of the edge network speeds for the other GSM modes. Correct?
Are there other things that are lost when you don't have access to the G3 network, other than speed?
As far as the N series phones, it looks like the Cingular branded phone would be the only one (N75).
Thanks for any responses.

3G allows you to talk and use data at the same time. If the phone falls back to EDGE you loose that ability as well. Although that's really up to phone.
