Re: Price
Hop on EBay and you can get a BRAND NEW one from EBay user "import-gsm" for $849.99 plus S/H. I just bought an MDA Pro from him.
He specializes in high end, cutting edge phones.
The N91 looks pretty cool....maybe worth the $850!! :)

Re: WCDMA
The WCDMA (UMTS) band that the new 3G handsets are offering are really only handy when you are in Europe where the 2100MHz band is used for public cellular handsets for super-high-speed data. Close to 400Kbps speed. But, in USA that frequency band is taken by gov't agency and inaccessible to the public. But, it you get a handset with GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS (WCDMA) 2100 - go to Europe, get a prepaid sim from Vodafone ...

Re: Woah...
ALL you people who say "It doesn't have GSM 850 so it is leaving the USA out in the cold" are either misinformed or dumb. Ever hear of.......T-Mobile?!?! They work SOLELY on GSM 1900!! So, in fact, you are NOT in the cold...and considering that Cingular and T-Mobile have a cost-free roaming agreement, if you have Cingular you STILL can use a GSM 1900 phone, not to mention Cingular started off with GSM1900 - it wasn't ...
Re: wat carrier?
fonCall said:
No North American GSM operator is going to carry this phone since it doesn't have GSM 850Mhz.
My response to that:
What band does TMobile run on? 1900 and 850? NOPE! JUST 1900. While I think that is a SHAME, it is true, and they still sell phones which are tri-band (900/1800/1900) so your reasoning is wrong. However, since this phone is a niche, low-on-gizmos unit I doubt anyone will ...
