to 3g o not to 3g that is the question

[GuitarWizz24]

i live in the usa im looking to get a N70,N72 or 3250 but the n72 and 3250 dont have 3g which should i get

 

[Julianna {TSL}]

if you live in the USA Then the only 3g symbian s60 phone you can get is the N75, and it will only work on cingular and it is not released as of today.

 

[%Crazy_in_<3%]

im going to get the phone imported

 

[Jahtego]

3g still wont work as they operate on 2100mhz only. We need 850/1900 UMTS which at this moment isnt available on any S60s so importing wont do you any good. btw..of the above mentioned phones I would take the N70 if you dont need the 850 freq. I loved that phone until cingular started Cblocking 1900 in my area.

liljay17, what US carrier do you plan on using the phone with?

Your profile says "t mobile", and their 3G network is in its infant stages and is being built on the newly-available AWS spectrum (1700/2100MHz). There are NO phones available AFAIK that are available to take advantage of that AWS spectrum even if the network was available in Chicago.

Cingular's 3G network is in its adolescent stage and user experience varies tremendously (just read for a while in the Cingular forum...). Cingular's 3G network is presently built on 1900MHz, with future plans to include 850MHz and probably also the 1700/2100MHz spectrum they bought in the AWS auction last year. So, again, the phones you're looking at won't work with Cingular's 3G network, either.

so you may need to change the title of the thread.

 

[swimgal324]

my sister has a 3250 and LOVES it, great s60 phone

 

[mgenese10201]

To date there is not one 3G phone that will work on T-Mobile's 3G network. You just have to wait for phones to be made for that 3G system.

 

[cmd]

But it's one nifty mobile!

 

[fishy!]

The best one would be the N95. Whenever it can be available.

 

[Jade ED]

Too bad that won't be working with T-Mobile 3G network.
