A few weeks back, I had dinner with a friend in NYC who had one of these--the first chance I had to see it live. Since it ran on Cingular, and I'm on ATTWireless--and I was willing to give up some functionality for style (I used to own a Samsung Matrix phone)--I hunted around on eBay until I found an unlocked one at a good price ($400). Here are my observations:
- I swapped my SIMcard in as soon as I got it; it powered up and functioned without incident--except for the web browser. Two thumbs up to the excellent help from Nokia tech support (Cingular did nothing) for getting me completely on line.

Hi Adam!

I own the phone and love it. The alarm works - I chose the taxi ringtone. The phone is supposed to sound and vibrate when alarming; this will continue to as snoozing if you don't stop the alarm.

I'd love to get internet service but T-mobile doesn't have the phone's specifications. You said Nokia helped you. Someone else told me the same thing. Is your phone the
European version ( GSM 900 1800 1900) ?

T-Mobile has such bad service in midtown that I wonder if another version with 850 1800 and 1900 bands would be better.

2005 to 2008 is a long while - you might have moved on to a new phone by now. Nonetheless, any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
