it would be awesome if it came to US...that means i could get one, get it unlocked, get w800 cover for it, and flash it to a w800... | |

I don't know why everyone dogs T-Mobile about their coverage. In all of the tests I've done between T-Mobile and Cingular networks, the converage seems to come clearly down to the terminal (or phone) you're using. For example, I get perfect reception with my k700i on T-Mobile, but dropped calls and half signal using Cingular's Treo 650, on 850mhz. When I use my k700 with my cingular sim card, the signal is fine. I get the same results regardless of the phone being used (Nokia's or Samsungs). Both networks provide good coverage, let's just hope that all the best SE phones come to BOTH T-Mobile and Cingular. That's what we'd all like for SE! I've also heard that T-Mobile has EDGE in place but are delaying the launch also. I've read stories in the local news papers here about T-Mobile doing tests for 'high speed wireless access through your mobile device' in key areas of Austin, TX (since it's the capital of texas, I guess T-Mobile's trying to lock down some contracts from all of the major state departments here). I've heard they're trying to increase capacity and resources so it's faster than Cingular's implementatin. I guess they can launch a decent advertising war against Cingular's EDGE network (much like what Sprint did to AT&T Wireless a few years back) if this is true. I will admit, Cingular's EDGE implementation does suck....it's very slow compared to implementations in the UK that I've used.

@ REO
you are forgetting Verizon! I understand they are CDMA/CCDMA networks, but they are currently the largest network provider in the States!..
Cingular has been doing a lot to build on their already large subscriber database. And I do believe in the 850MHz theroy; lower frequencies in general do perform better (mold around objects, if you will ) against obstacles/uneven terrains. Whereas, higher frequencies tend to bounce and reflect off objects they encountered, thus maybe a worst reception phonomena...
@gr3
I spoke to a TMobile tech, and he mentioned that they will be bringing the D750i to US market. The D750i is exactly the K750i but with a different face place (TMobile exclusive). I also observed on the SE's website (US), the have the K750i coming soon!.. not sure what that means, but it's a good sign!...... | |
