what cell carriers use 3g already?? i thought they were just doing that in some test markets . . . .

Cingular has deployed 3G at 1900 Mhz in the US as part of the AT&T test market phase that began before the merger. Those markets are: San Francisco, Miami, Dallas, Seattle and San Diego. They plan to add more markets and eventually 3G at 850 Mhz.

In Europe, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Three and a number of other providers are using 3G at 2100 Mhz.

In Japan and South Korea, 3G has been around for a lot longer, those two countries are the most advanced in that sector.

i personally think the e680 satisfies my needs. the e1000 is good but uses transflash (up to 512 mb atm while sd cards have up to 2gb)
i think you should look for phones that use sd cards as that will enable you to have greater storage for mp3s

so i recommend the i-mate jam. never used it but it looks

good luck with whatever phone you end up getting.
