when it hits retail outlets i will officially recognize its officialness

I think we're excited for the US3G and the fact that the phone is actually going to hit our shores! I'm not getting it but I'm glad it exists. The American population will eat anything they're served! It's about time Nokia takes its rightful place in the leader of the free world. The auction is significant only as it's presenting a non-prototype, branded and ready for release US S60!

WCDMA on the 850mhz, 1700mhz, 1900mhz bands |

I think i wet myself when i saw this on Engadgetmobile. wouldn't this be the first time the US is among the 1st to get some high-end 3g love from any phone manufacturer, except HTC |

Would anyone in here switch to tmobile for this bad boy? |

Of course, I take this with quite a few grains of salt. Until it's actually out and operating at those frequencies, I won't believe it. Still, it'd be nice to see the Guru and Olly proven wrong about how there won't be unbranded 3g phones for North American consumption |

I hope Nokia realized that typically NA carriers like cheap phones, and to peddal their high-end phones in the US, they need alternate distribution, like their flagship stores. it looks to me, with the inclusion of both WCDMA 850/1900 AND 1700, that it'll be shopped around to both carriers, but even if neither picks up the e90 they can still sell it for use with BOTH Tmo and AT&Tingular 3G. If it isn't 3g (Specifically 850/1900) i won't get it. But that's just me |

Why release the 8800 scirocco with 900/1800/1900? Why not quadband as well? My point is that a NA carrier wont have to pick this up before they make it fully compatible here in the states....they just wont make it compatible. I dont see a carrier picking this up as the asking price will be too expensive for the average NA consumer. Nokia doesnt seem to think we're a priority so developing a phone that Tmob and Cingular might consider isnt a concern of theirs imo. I wish it was and I would think the E90 at least should have every bell and whistle throw into it. ......but I feel it wont.

relationship with them. And I agree with a remark that someone made in the N75 thread, it seems to me that Cingular is increasingly become more and more like the Big "V" with there branding.

Filed under: gadgets, nokia - 02 Mar 2007 23:46 I’m not sure where Engadget is getting their information, but based on everything that is publicly available, as well as private information I’ve seen in Nokia, I believe that the only 3G band supported on the Nokia E90 will be WCDMA 2100. I would love for Engadget to be right on this, though, but there’s no evidence they are. We could always go with the Nokia E90 technical specifications page on Nokia’s site, but let’s go with the FCC documentation that Engadget links to. I poured through all of the PDF files and could not find a single page on any of the documents that matched the one they pictured in the story. Nothing in any of the documentation Engadget links to even mentions WCDMA 1700. You would think that WCDMA 1700 would appear in the SAR reports if it supported that band, don’t you think? This is either sloppy reporting or someone is making this up. Or they’re talking about the phone after the Nokia E90. Whatever, but I have no reason to believe they’re right on this one." This is from a Nokia employees blog! 'nuff said! http://www.phoneboy.com/node/1364 |

The fact remains that there is an fcc document for the E90 that has wcdma 1700 in it. Irrespective of whether results of the wcdma tests were documented in that pdf or not, could someone explain why wcdma 1700 is in there if the phone should not work on that band. |

The table that engadget highlights tells us the limits for the for spurious emissions and they ARE NOT any measurements. The actual tests are only conducted on the gsm 850/1900 bands. Time to issue a retraction on my blog |
