Ya it definitely looks good but it isn't out yet.And i suppose those buggers are planning to launch it only in European countries while i wanted to get it through my brother in USA

MC Mayank · 23rd June 2007, 23:19

whats the scene with getting it from the US. Is it that you just have to find an unlocked one? It works otherwise?

Actually the thing is the phone won't be sold in the US i really don't know for what reason.The phone isn't there on the US website too.Now how do i get that phone

American Countries usually have 850 bands in their phones. Plus their network features are outdated to European networks.

hence what you find in Europe wont always be available in US.

Sonyericsson S700i was available in Canada 2+ years after it went on sale in India.

Even better, you wouldnt even have heard of phones in Japan. they are the best of the lot.

Here ya go!!

Ya i will check it out but i suppose it would be out in India the same time as it is launched in the other countries

I think if the budget can be stretched to about Rs.34000/- then the Nokia N95 can be available and u'll get the 5 mega pixel cam along with it...apart from that it looks good and sounds very good too

speedzak · 26th June 2007, 02:42

I vote for Nokia N95. That is if you can have a bit of patience with the slow UI. Everything else rocks.

Do I see a certain Cochin-based builder giving up his S40 3rd edition phones for something a little more Symbian?

sabret00the · 26th June 2007, 03:40
