N95 Will *now* be released in Q2

The standard is the 1900 Mhz band in the US. T-Mo will also use the same band. Its somewhere in the 1700Mhz range for uplink.

EDIT: okay, wait. I think i need to read a bit more on the auction. It seems there's a 1.7Ghz and a 2.1Ghz band for auction.

EDIT 2: 1.7GHz for reverse link and 2.1GHz for uplink. T-Mobile won part of this block. So the downlink freq is the same as in europe, but apparently the uplink is in the 1700 Mhz frequency. Europe uses 2100mhz for downlink and 1900mhz for uplink. Cingular is using part of its 2G spectrum in the 1900Mhz range to deploy 3G services and they are moving 2G traffic to the 850Mhz range. T-Mo on the other hand (if i am not mistaken) deploys 2G in the 1900Mhz range only. Hence their 3G will be the 1.7Ghz and 2.1Ghz combo.

Hope that made sense!
 
Every phone is at some point brought to R & D for all major providers. I remember a 9500 with NA Tri floating around. I also think that more cingular customers are buying their phones away from cingular as well. I see a bunch of people in the D.C. area with non cingula r phones. Not an overwhelming amount but perhaps it's 98.9 percent
 
Dual-band domestic UMTS/HSDPA - 850/1900 MHz

or both

Right. Translation: there will be no "US standard" for UMTS, and manufacturers will have to make tri-band UMTS phones to roam on any network. I think this probably also means that T-Mobile customers will have few, if any, choices if they want an unlocked UMTS phone, given the number of T-Mobile customers buying unlocked phones is even smaller than the number of Cingular customers buying unlocked phones.
 
Yes.

And i guess its only due to cingular's wierd deployment. But if cingular has acquired some of the 2100Mhz spectrum, then it could probably use the 1900/2100 mhz combo to get 3G similar to europe.
 
The sliding mechanism seems pretty good from all the reviews that I have read from people that went to open studio. Any body on the forums visit the Nokia store and play with it yet?

p.s. Nothing Mike Shinoda has ever said (or will say) is signature worthy.
 
there are specs for the N95 on the N Series website that shows a model with US 3G bands and another with Euro/Worldwide 3G bands. Which has lead to some people speculating that there might be two versions of the handset, one euro/worldwide, one US with speculated release dates Q1 and Q2 respectively. Which is kinda why this thread was started.

*91silvy, thank you for taking a completely erroneous comment too seriously. of course a band cant be overrated. your obvious 850 dependence proves that.
