For t-mobile america users/cheapskates: it's quad-band 3G unlike the N9's penta-band 3G, so I don't see this phone selling on t-mobile at all.

Too bad though, I've been wanting to replace my nexus one with a well-designed easily jailbreakable/sim-unlockable os.



Looking at the specs:

It says it does 850 and 1900, which are T-Mobile bands, no?


t-mobile us 3G band needs 1700 mhz (I believe that's the receiving frequency). example: even an unlocked iphone supports 850 / 1900 / 2100 hsdpa/3G, but won't get more than "edge" speed due to the non-support of 1700 mhz


Ah, you're right. How confusing/annoying.


Having owned S40 and S60 I doubt that any Nokia phone would be easily jailbreakable.


Just type

$ sudo gainroot

on any Nokia Maemo/MeeGo device


Will it run on AT&T? A couple of my friends want that phone NOW.


yeah, should work fine on att 3g
