If you're in the UK you shouldn't buy any 3G phones from North or South America. They use different 3G frequencies so their phones won't necessarily work on 3G in the UK or the rest of Europe.
coz i remember that i bought my htc touch diamond from amazon us and it worked just super up in here!??
thanx

Its up for preorder for $649 and includes a free bluetooth headset. If it follows suit with the N97 and drops about $70 in the next 2 months to $580 or possibly (please) $550, I will probably get it. Although if its at $550 on nokiausa, its probably going to be $500 flat on amazon.com and I'll definitely snag it.
Although if Tmobile has it for $200 or less, I'm switching from ATT.

I'm so torn. Do I jump now or wait to see if Tmobile decides to subsidize or if Nokia offers a discount like they did with the N97. Decisions......

So I can't fill out the survey now. I hope the folks at Nokia know they are skewing their survey results by eliminating Firefox users from participating.
the nokia N900 is coming to nokiausa site soon, a rep on the site says to check back next week, also as of yet there are no prices, link .. http://www.nokiausa.com/find-products/phones/nokia-n900

If you do buy a 3G phone from the Americas and use it in Europe, there's a good chance it won't connect to your local 3G networks. It's a bit of a lottery.
Long answer: 3G phones also have 2G compatibility, so that they can stay connected even when there's no 3G network nearby.
The 2G part of a 3G phone will probably work worldwide because there are normally three, four or five different 2G frequencies built into the phone. That means that most 3G phones will get some kind of signal worldwide, if you include 2G signals. The 2G might be what worked on the HTC you bought.
Some 3G frequencies are similar in Europe and the Americas, but not all, so if you buy an Americas 3G phone and travel through Europe you might find some places where it picks up a 3G signal and other places where it doesn't . It's a lottery.
The only way to avoid this lottery is to buy a phone with the correct frequencies for your part of the world, because the correct frequencies are guaranteed to work across the continent you live in.
