and we all know the chocolate phone. lol

[chicken fly lice]

z710

the features of the p900 would just be useless if used in the states

[kcinimod]

those phones arent even out yet. and the primary features of these phones are useless in the states. Chocolate phone's mp3 player doesnt work without a 150 cd, dmb & umts arent available, if u want a 3.2MP camera phone my sugestion is the sgh-p850.

[skwannabe]

^ yep none of those are out. look up the lg 7200. 2.0 mp with auto focus, its released and its on gsmarena.

[MULOAN]

^ yeah i got these phones of gmsararena. im in no real rush because my contrct ends in June. i'm just looking now because my frend works for a cell place and he just told me tell him what i wanted so he can place an order (when it comes out)

[kcinimod]

IMO, these phones wont probably come out till the end of this year. getting a phone from the Z series is a waste since we dont have 3G service. Since your contract ends in June, in May there are going to be 2 phones that are coming out that i sugest.
1. Gsm version of the chocolate phone
2. Sgh-d520, better known as anycall's Sch-v840, the superslim slider (current phone hyori is endorsing).

[truexskills]

i thought korean phones don't work in america unless you do something to it somehow..
can anyone clarify?
and same way with how american phones don't work in korea..
obviously becuase of the companies and the phone service..they don't have cingular, tmobile, verizon etc so..

[Tepper]

They dont work on the same spectrum really. US uses 850mhz/1800mhz/1900mhz Korea/the rest of the world uses 900mhz/(1800)1900mhz/2100mhz or something like that... making many of the import phones worthless on american carriers because you get no reception is most places.

[MULOAN]

thanks kcinimod, i'll look at that 2nd phone

[kcinimod]

you are right and wrong. =]

US uses 850mhz and 1800mhz, for GSM network phones, now before most phones were only dual band, (only able to operate on 2 frequencies). These days majority phones are Triband, 1900mhz, 900mhz and 1800mhz, which means they can work worldwide in GSM networks. Korea uses the CDMA network, which sprint and verizon uses. The only compatible carrier is SK telecom with Verizon, since they Both use the 1800mhz band.

But i believe MULOAN, is looking for a GSM phone, which is easy pickins.

[erure]

if you are looking for gsm phones, then i think it's impossible to use the chocolate phone since it's cdma. also, why would you get a european dmb phone when it won't work in the states? imo that's wasting your money. if i were you i'd wait for the sony ericsson k790- it has 3.2mp camera and EDGE which you can use in the u.s. i have to admit the design is rather plain though. or the w810 that came out a few weeks ago- 2.0mp camera, walkman, 512mb memory stick pro duo...

[tieulongnhi]

i want the z710... so bad... but it never gonna come.. so long!

Chocolate phone is coming out with GSM model in May for europe. SE K790 is ok, but i think samsung SGH-P850 is way better.

[aznhybrid]

im actually waiting for the z710 to come out... haha
but im curious
the z710 is gsm, so it uses a sim card rite?
so its possible for me to use it with tmobile...
am i right? im not exactly familiar with the way the cell phones work

[vannushka]

z710 because it's the only decent one there..with a nice camera too
