Nokia E71 Cell Phone

$393.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
(unacceptable to me for my next phone), the forced data plan was kinda pricey to be locked into, i didn't like the plastic of the new 3g version, and i heard the battery life wasn't very good.
from www.amazon.com
3g -- despite amazon saying this is the us version of the phone (which it is,) this phone does not work with t-mobile 3g in the us.
from www.amazon.com
great phone i got 3g on my phone and i love it.what i like the most is the phone can use a 8 gb micro sd card lots of room for stuff.
from www.amazon.com
it was absolutely simple to setup and delivers excellent 3g connectivity.
from www.amazon.com
* connectivity options - you name it, it has it(bluetooth - including stereo headset support infrared, wifi, 3g, edge).

i check out the bold and i loved the sleekness of it and the 3g.
from www.amazon.com
i am sure everybody talks about the obvious such as 3g so i will skip that and leave it up to the others.first as with previous blackberrys, it has what is call independent voice dialing.

about 2 years ago i had a bb curve 8300 and loved it but unfortunately i fell into the hype of apple advertising and decided to switch to the iphone 3g but quickly became tired of the virtual

HTC G1 Smartphone

$425.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the phone has the 3 main internet functionalities: edge, 3g, and wifi, and also it has gprs.
from www.amazon.com
so, for those of you who do not want to go down the road of 3g with att this phone is the perfect, and after i've been using it for 2 weeks, i actually find it to be a better alternative.
from www.amazon.com
i have to disable damned near everything (3g, gps, wifi, bluetooth, dim the screen) just to make it 8-10 hours.
from www.amazon.com
i seriously considered the iphone 3g, but decided against it based on apple's business practices.
from www.amazon.com
phone and apps are fast and reliable on the 3g network; on edge they're pokey and frustrating--be aware of that before you buy.

Nokia E63 Cell Phone

$268.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this phone works good except it does not have the fast speed of other 3g phones.
from www.amazon.com
if you are looking for a smartphone and don't need 3g or gps i think it would be hard to find a better phone than the e63.
from www.amazon.com
also for data service performance in wireless network, i only use it in t-mobile network; i don't know how it performs in att's 3g network, so i don't comment on this.
from www.amazon.com
now you need to be realistic and know that when you buy a unlocked phone for $150, you aren't gonna get a 8mp camera, or 3g, or gps, or touchscreen (i sold my 5800 for this cuz i hate touchscreen).

RIM Research In Motion BB8900CURVE Curve 8900

$230.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i'm not going to say anything about the lack of 3g, if you buy this phone you should know that, and there is no reason to give it a negative review because of it.
from www.amazon.com
people are complaining about no 3g and what not but it's not a big deal for me.
from www.amazon.com
sure the lack of 3g stinks, but for what i do and where i am most of the time, it doesnt matter, wifi usually seems to be always around.
from www.amazon.com
it has all of the benefits of a bold (except for the 3g but that doesn't bother me), but in a "female size".
from www.amazon.com
i do love the bold's keyboard better and i do find myself wishing i had some 3g love at times, but that's about it.

it excels as a phone with great call quality and rf reception (i get 3g signals where other phones barely get 2g, or even no signal at all)!
from Matt B, www.newegg.com
nice it supports the latest data frequencies pretty well, including the latest edge and 3g networks (i've noticed that signal quality depends on your location).battery life for this type of phone is
from www.amazon.com
i required an unlocked gsm phone that would receive the most common 3g bands as well as wifi.
from www.amazon.com
it comes with an 8gb microsd card so you never run out of space for music and videos, and it has 3g and wi-fi so you're always connected at the speed of technology.
from www.amazon.com
had the iphone before and it was mediocre with such slow internet over a 3g connection.

from www.amazon.com
excelent smartphone, i'm using full hsdpa with my 850mhz service provider, i think it is the most complete smartphone in the market that is compatible with 850/1900 3g networs.
from www.amazon.com
it also has a frontal camera for 3g video calls.
from www.amazon.com
i get hsdpa/3g coverage in the us (manhattan) and canada (vancouver), so there's no question about its 3g frequency and no need to upgrade firmware for it.
from www.amazon.com
if you live in europe or asia or live in the us but don't need 3g service, the diamond is a great phone.

from lt.dell.com
it is a great business phone and has all the features i was looking for: it is unlocked, it has wi-fi, a qwerty keyboard, 3g and it has windows 6.1.
from lt.dell.com
3g is fast.
from lt.dell.com
this probably has more to due that 3g network is available in my area.
from www.amazon.com
i don't get the benefit of 3g data through t-mobile, but edge is plenty fast (and much more dependable) for internet and email, and it helps save on battery life.
from www.amazon.com
it works well with 3g.

Nokia N79 Cell Phone

i chose this phone over the n82 because of the looks and because it supports us 3g unlike the n82.

Nokia N97 32 GB Cell Phone

$747.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
however, recently i purchased the nokia n-97 32 gb, 3g unlocked cell phone, and i have to say it is far superior to the n-95.
from www.amazon.com
i was ready to click on this cellphone to buy it but then i read a review about some people who have tmobile are having problems with 3g connections, so i called up the company.
from www.amazon.com
rest assured that when it does come out it is not going to have that stupid att restriction that barred it from the iphone app store of using only wifi and not the 3g.
from www.amazon.com
the enabling of 3g support in north america was always a much needed feature for bluetooth tethering and faster network data performance...if only that damned e90 had it!
from www.amazon.com
with 3g speeds the potential is limitless.

3g service is pretty nice, too...but my treo 700p and 755p were both evdo equipped, which are essentially the same thing, so no big difference there.
from www.amazon.com
3g reception is an improvement, at least where i live.
from www.amazon.com
( you have to use a "3g" sim card from cingular or at&t to reliably use the data features / tmobile sim's typically meet this requirement and have been for years )

web browsing is really easy and fast, especially if connected to wifi (no 3g in my area yet, not even sure if this phone supports t-mobile's bands).
from www.amazon.com
the nokia e75 does not support t-mobile 3g, which might explain some of the issues that i had.

first things first, it is 3g using a vzw sim card.
from www.amazon.com
the point is that htc touch pro does everything you expect from a 3g pocket pc device without the glamor others limited phones show.

just be carefull with the languages you want and 3g frequencies available.

it is not compatible with att 3g network, and os is very laggy.

pros: very slick interface cons: cannot be used on us 3g networks - only has the european frequencies - why htc didn't use tri-band data is a mystery - they've also said there won't be a us
