$450 is as cheap of price as any I've seen on the internet, so I may scoop that. If I can confirm that the T616 is sold unlocked though, I will get that. |

I work for T-Mobile and internal communication has announced the T610 is coming soon later this month. On the 7th some training materials will be provided so its going to be very soon. I just bought an unlocked one at a store in Chicago for $375 it is way better than the T68m I had. My new phone is quite the eye-turner at work now.

@tori:
wow, did u get that as a tmo employee hookup?i might just have to drive just to get that price.
PS
do you have any of the bugs on your t610 as reported on ESATO: hiss, blue tooth crackle, camera lag, dark line across the screen, flashing screen? your response might give us an insight as to what kind of T610s are they rolling out in north america |

ASortaToriFan, what store in Chicago did you buy this from? I can't wait to get a T610. I hope TMo really does release them soon. I wonder what the upgrade price will be... |

They have the T616 on the Cingular website if you put in your area as Manhattan (917) NY! $199 with 2 year contract.
I wonder, how will having a 850/1800/1900 MHz phone affect roaming ability in Europe (as opposed to 900/1800/1900)? Don't they use the 900 MHz over there? I am wondering if I should get the T610 or T616 - I am mostly in North America but I do want it to be a true "world phone".

you should be fine with the 616. most networks in Europe have the 1800 MHz band.

I wish that they'd start offering the T616 everywhere else. I'm due for an upgrade... |

I would sign up with AT&T just for T616, the but the one thing I enjoy and take full advantage of is the international SMS with T-Mobile. I don't think I could live without it anymore...infact I will use it now  |

UAE,
Just buy a T616 from Cingular. Cingular now sells their phones unlocked from what I understand and you could use your T-mobile SIM. That is what I am planning to do. |

Just got mine yesterday...a lot better than my old T68i =) I'm still playing with it, so I'll see if the bugs are gone. So far so good though! |

i bought my t610 from hi fi electronics in chicago they have a lot of unlocked gsm phones. they are right by the intersections of Devon & Western on the far north side. Ghandi electronics has some too there.
it was $375....it doesn't seem to have any problems with it. I tried searching about the "hiss" but what is the hiss anyway?
It doesn't have any other problems.
We started carrying the T610's for new activation at Tmobile stores over a week ago and they work great. they are $299.99....$249.99 after rebate.
