Hey guys, I'm going to Hong Kong and Beijing this summer and I need a new phone. Here are my requirements:

-GSM, preferably quadband. UMTS and/or HSDPA would be nice
- Nothing availible in North America from a wireless carrier. Preferably something not comin anytime soon (not within 3 years)
- 3G
- 2 MP+ camera (if possible, video calling camera too)
- any form factor
- ok+ battery life
- memory card slot
- Bluetooth 2.0+

anyting else is extra, but the more the better. And please keep it at a reasonable price. I can't afford the best phone there is, obviously.
 
"Preferably something not comin anytime soon (not within 3 years)"

if i understand right? you want a phone which will not coming to US in next 3 years?

so u want to buy it in US or Hong Kong?

But i am confuse with your requirement, the only phone which it won't come to US is some phone that is not popular, if the phone is popular those importer like those store in chinatown will definitly bring it here. So if u think u can get the ONE OF A KIND PHONE in US, that is impossible.
 
OK, this is what I mean. Something like the Nokia N series. The N76 is in Cingular, but I really doubt the rest of the N series is coming with it. So that should guarentee that the new phone is unique for a while. And I need to be able to get it from either Beijing or Hong Kong.
You have to read my request in context. I want a phone that most likely Cingular, T-Mocrap, Fido and Rogers won't offer for a while. Kinda like the LG Shine. they just released the Chocolate on Fido and ROgers, so most likely they won't bust out the SHine.

And believe me, if you want a phone from Chinatown here, you'll get a startac
 
which chinatown u are refer to, toronto? BC? I am in NY and we have alot of choice in NY chinatown. I am not sure we got Shine in NY chinatown, but if the model is popular in asia, those chinatown store will import in very fast. But personally i don't like to pay a lot money for a phone, as they have new phone coming out almost every week, paying 300-500$ to a phone is kinda too much. In NY chinatown, if we open a new line, those store got kick back, and recently i saw abunch of mid range phone is free, like Nokia 6300, SE k550i, W810i...etc.
 
BC. We basically have a china town and modern chinatown here. And you live in the bg city, so obviously you guys have a lot more choice there. And I've seen so many of those 3 phones for a lifetime
 
i thought BC is more like HK, in fact i thought they have asian everywhere, even more than NY! Yeah, i know 2 chinatown, one the old one and the other one in richmond area. I thought the richmond chinatown should have alot of new stuff there, right?

i used to visited bc couple times a yr when my parents land there, but they all went back to HK. The food in bc is better than NY. I was suprise u said they don't have that many new phone in bc, i thought those people in bc are rich and willing to pay for it.

Yeah, u might see so many of those 3 phones i mention, but paying 300-500$ for a phone that will only give u couple weeks/months of coolness is not really my style. Yeah, like those nokia n95 is cool, but 400-500$ dame! i can get a laptop for that price.!
