Well, thats bad news for people who didnt want to pay a little extra for a K800i, but good news for the rest of us.

It is kinda pointless for the UK...but it would be cool if  can make a dual-mode phone that's capable of both EDGE and UMTS especially for places like South Africa where the two major networks have these technologies complimenting one another.
The shift will probably come with the successor to the K800.

i have no need for either 3g or edge, so because the k790 didn't have 3g but edge instead, it was bound to be cheaper, meaning i would have prefered to buy the 790 over the 800. also because i am an electronics and gadgets clean and protection freak, it just means more maintaining and worrying about the front unprotected lense.

I've got too many things to worry about keeping gadgets clean aint one of them. You can always head on over to eBay and buy the K790...it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

K800 will make more money for the mobile operators being 3G and they are the ones who will order these phones.The manufacturer will make more money selling the K800.What you want is not their problem.

I think for a done better job speperating EDGE and UTMS. As i don't have UTMS in my country (BANGLADESH) but EDGE, so I didn't wanna end up with the production cost of UTMS but only EDGE. From the countries having both facilities i guess it'ld b better if there were another model which has both facilities though. Would be a gr8 market strategy, I guess.

But what about the operators, who don't use 3G like T-mobile in UK? or a user who don't want to use 3G but GSM or normal phone? |

Then disable the 3g.And T Mobile do use 3g in the uk.
Edge is useless here. It would be nice if we had edge and 3g like in SA.
Price wise i think it will be around 350-400 euros |
