Now that the K800 has come out, I'm anxious to see when the K790 will come out and whether it'll be two tri-band models (i and a) as initially specified or a single quad-band, like the prototypes floating around here. I would also like to know what countries are getting the K790, because it has been mentioned that countries with 3G service will NOT be getting it. So far the only SE site that even shows it on their "coming soon" list is the US and only the K790a is listed. I haven't checked ALL the different sub sites under SE, but I did check about 6 of them and all of those only had the K800 listed.

K790i is listed as Coming Soon in SE Indonesia website as well as in some advertisements of SE local store here.
So I think Indonesia is getting K790i but the exact release date still not yet confirmed.
For EDGE, we have one provider/operator here, Telkomsel, the biggest GSM operator in Indonesia.
For 3G Network, it will start here by August this year by a local operator -- XL -- in cooperation with Vodaphone.

In Colombia it also says "coming soon"
but it means NOTHING
because with the K750 was the same and NONE of the 3 operators brought it so...

will the k800 work in the U.S.? or just the k790? i.e. when you say "the US is getting the k790" do you mean a service provider will offer it?

x1387 only sells the k800 and that's where i want to buy it for use in the US.

India too...but next year we r going 3G too(the lousy govt is asking the telcom operators to make a $100 3G mobile phone before launching 3G service) and theres a lot of tension ongoing between CDMA and GSM operators for bandwidth allocation which is currently under the control of defence.
