its the Nokia 6230, comes out this quarter. if you can find it.. let me know. thanks

 

I already have my order in for that phone...since last month. It's got a lot of features in it that are provider dependent, I wouldn't want to get a pre-production model that doesn't exactly work.

I plan to use mine mostly for overseas. Nice phone.

 

Is it GSM or CDMA?

 

GSM World: US 1900 and Europe-Asia 900/1800

 

im currently with cingular, but planning to switch to att, you think i can use all of the phones capabilities with that service?

 

nokia 8910


is it true this phone wont work in the US, even if its unlocked? can someone explain please?

 

It is true.

The 8910 will only operate if there are radio frequencies present on the 900 and the 1800 mHz frequencies. Those frequencies are GSM frequencies common in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.

Unfortunately in the US, GSM frequencies are on present on the 850 and 1900 mHz bands.

Turn on the 8910 in America and it will display "no service".

 

are you sure? my 6820 has the same Tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 and works fine here

 

Tri-band Operation
EGSM 900, GSM 1800, and GSM 1900 networks in Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, North America, and South America where these networks are supported
Automatic switching between bands

 

Here's what I read for the 8910:

Dual Band Operation
EGSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 900/1800 dual band networks in Europe, Africa, and Asia; automatic switching between bands

oh im sorry. I thought you were reffering to the 6230 thats why.

 

6230 is going to be money.

 

i dont understand americas reluctance in providing greater gsm coverage and networking :shakehd:...its a damn shame since we miss out on so many awesome phones b/c of it

 

I don't think it reluctance. It's money. Each cellular tower is a million dollars or more.

As soon as Cingular merges with someone, I think the GSM world in America might get a little bit better. And then when GSM finally migrates over to a more CDMA-like technology (similar to Sprint and Verizon), this thing will really start to take off. Give it about 3-5....years.

 

NO, NO, NO...GSM....

 

Hey, Kensteele. How did you order that phone and through who? I'm with AT&T and I want that phone. Everything I could need in a phone.

I won't be able to get one until it is officially released. Just like with the Motorola V600. Is ATT supposed the be the first US GSM carrier with this phone?

 

I have no idea if AT&T Wireless will be the first to offer the phone. I read on a forum on AT&T Wireless's web page that it should be offered and that it will replace the 7250i. AT&T never got the Nokia 7250i even though non working demos were in stores. They said there was a problem with the service I think. But a guy who works for AT&T said that he 'thinks' the 6230 will take the place of the 7250i. I hope AT&T gets it cuz the phone is nuts.

 

I hope so, I use to want the 7250i but it takes too long to come out in america.. sucks we gotta wait for all the good phones

 

I know the 8910 doesnt work in the U.S. but does anyone happen to want one (for those travelers) I have one new in box for sale.

 

when does the 6230 come out? shouldnt it be here already?

 

khmer co, just order yours from overseas unlocked. that's what i did. look on ebay, there should be a company in CA somewhere that you can get it from. i wish the 8910 covered 1900 or 850. that is the pimpest phone out. titanium and a button operated sliding cover :\

 

its not on ebay.
