I was under the impression that the k790 would be out in early July. I only ask because I'm looking for the k800s to drop in price, or the k790, conversely. If SE releases the 790, it will undoubtedly drop the price of one or the other.
k800s are running best at $420 on ebay...waiting on 350 before purchase! |

I thought the only difference between k790 and k800 was the fact that k800 is 3G.
Thus the K790 only being released in contries where 3G is not yet available. |

the only diff between the two is dat one is 3g and one is non 3g...but at least they could've released the two at the same time ...wats the point of waitin or delayin the release of k790

I think the only reason to get the k790, If you don't utilize the video/3G capabilities, would be because of a substantial price difference. However, there is no indication of the price range as of yet. The k800 is running at about 420 USD unlocked on ebay.
I think two things could happen with the release of the k790:
1.) The k790s price will drop percipitously, making it a more cost-effective purchase for those that do not utilize 3G, while the k800 will stay about the same
2.) The two will both come down a bit in price to around the same level, because the k800 will only cater to those in the area who have the technology to use its extra features.
Just waiting for one or the other  |

Hurst, the K790 has EDGE. But thanks to our dear uncle sam, we never got advanced phones on time in USA. How great!
I don't think K790 will be out til December, you just wait and see. My words will come true
As for the EDGE, K800 doesn't have it since it is 3G. If you use your cellphone to get online alot, EDGE helps a ton
Also, K790 will come out with a high price in USA. Unless you go to those asian cell phone places, you will get ripped off for sure. I am a chinese and i know chinese cell phone stores use their own commission to get you "FREE" phones so they can attract more customers.
Also, K800i on ebay are all unlocked while K790a will be sim locked with specific carrier/operator

Wow, thanks for the great info. I guess the k800 will be my phone then. However, I'm still waiting for the price to dip and I was hoping the influx of k790 would help the old supply demand curve. |

There is going to be a k790i release and a k790a. The k790i will come unlocked and should be out soon while the k790a will be locked to american networks and probably wont be out for a while. |

I'm under the impression from this thread that people think EDGE is better for data speeds? 3G does actually offer data rates of up to 384/64k.
What does EDGE do? |
