Another reason people are waiting for carriers to "introduce" phones is because said carriers subsidize handsets - most often they subsidize handsets that you buy when you extend your contract for another 12/24 months.
Of the two remaining big GSM carriers in the US T-mobile is the smallest, with the sorriest selection of handsets (with the exception, maybe, of the Danger) and with the slowest network (no 3G yet, whereas both big CDMA players and Cingular have started offering 3G services).
At least they are cheap (T-mobile). I am paying $10/mo for unlimited GPRS data which is not bad and $50/mo for 1000 min, free long distance (another american "invention" due to mobile numbers having the same prefix as landlines), free roaming within the US, and free calls within the T-mobile network. | |

I live in Manhattan New York. I got a K750i Exactly one month ago. I've got a 1gb sony high speed card...everything works great.
The k750i works in New York for the individual who asked.
IN FACT MY SERVICE WORKS IN SOME SUBWAY TRAINS AND IN MOST BASEMENTS...
COMPLAINT - the t-zones home page is blank LMAO |

@stillhere,
The reason for tzones not working (blank page!) is because the K750i settings on the TMobile websites arent available for that phone.. You must select a phone on their website, and if it doesnt match your handset then Tzones is a blank page.. they might fix that in the future (dont hold your breath!)... It is useless for me !! but to have $4.99/mo. internet access is pretty decent.. |

1) Where did you buy you K750i, and for how much ? I'm going to live in the US, starting October, and am wondering if I should buy my K750i in the US or in Europe (where I'm now).
I can have it for 269Euros (350$ US) with an renewal of my subscription (that I'll give to my father).
I don't mind having to subscribe if in the US when buying the phone, if I can have a rebate at the same time (current pratice here in Europe, you usually save 200$ on the phone if applying for a new subscription)
2) would you recommend T-mobile or Cingular, in terms of offer & quality of service ? (I'll be in the DC area)
Thanks in advance,
Eya

1- I bought my K750i from Ebay.. I was lucky to get it for $360 at the begining of July. Now it should be cheaper.. One thing you must be careful about: Make sure the phone you purchase is UNLOCKED or unbranded!!! then you could use it anywhere.... also if you could get a manufacturer's warranty, that would be ideal. If you buy it in Europe, then you get a manufacturer's warranty.. In US, you dont..
2- I use TMobile... They are ok! in terms of coverage areas.. but Cingular is better coverage. As far as plan pricing, TMobile is much cheaper!!... but you dont get rollover minutes... Checkout the Coverage maps of DC area. for both....
ur welcome.. |

Thanks
1) in France, all electronic equipements are sold with an international warranty. Seems that in the US you get only a US+Canada warranty (that was the case for all the Canon photo equipement I bought there)
2) I don't really care about the rollover minutes, for T-mobile prices are actually cheap . I couldn't find Cingular's coverage mpas for DC ; T-mobile coverage seems a little bit poor, but I understand they've got free roaming on Cingular network (though all the mobile-to-mobile, unlimited week-end/night minutes won't work of course...)... I'm correct ?
Then I'll just have to check I'll have decent coverage for T-mobile where I live.

I hope that the K/D750 won't be coming to the U.S. because everyone will have one, then. It's cool being one of the few people with this phone.
