I haven't seen the specs on the N71, but the N92 is out because of no 850.

I'd bet my left nut they'll get the N81 Q3 of next year, though.

Well since the N80 says "..plus quad-band GSM with EDGE for the Americas..." We'll be getting this one in the US, just a matter of when.

Maybe if the gov't can sort out the 3G issues this could be a really great phone for UMTS too.

The N80 is quad-band and has WCDMA 1900, so it would be compatible with Cingular, including most (but not all) of their new 3G network. A Nokia exec also told me they will launch it in the US in Q1, and they expect it to be widely distributed in the US (as in a major carrier like Cingular.)

The others are both tri-band GSM without 850, and the 3G is WCDMA 2100 only, so I wouldn't expect to see them launched here.

Yes. 850 in some areas.

if released for cingular, wouldn't they ask Nokia to modify the n80 with 850 UMTS? i suppose they could offer it only in certain markets, but wouldn't they almost have to give a separate coverage map for the 3G capability (and cingular prides themselves on the fact that they have only one map for voice and data)

I think anyphone released for Cingular will have not only UMTS but HSDPA as well. HSDPA is backwards compatible with UMTS so no need for 2 different radios. I believe the phone will be retooled with HSDPA 850/1900 and probably renamed to the N81. Just my guess. It's what Nokia/Cingular usually do.

actually, N82 would fit their numbering scheme more closely. like the 6682 with 850, or the 6102 with 850, or the 6282

check out the site below. article reports on n80 shown with cingular logo.
my preference will be to purchase an unlocked version -although i am a former at&t, currently a cingular non contract user- i want all the features available on the phone and with unlocked i can purchase sim cards when travelling outside the us.
