Is the P990i version compatible with the Cingular's 3G network in US?
I have the P990i, updated to the latest firmware, and got a brand new 3g SIM from a Cingular shop in US. The dealer told me it might not work, but since it was just a free new sim, I took it. Now, of course it does not work.
I have the phone on both GSM and 3G, and I did perform a new search. Nothing came up.

Is there anything on the phone I need to do? [addsig]

The P990 uses the 2100 band for 3G. Cingular operates their 3G on 1900Mhz. So that is not compatible. See also
