Looking for a good phone with camera for nice pictures, streaming music, streaming video and 3g (edge)
Must have 850, 900, 1900. Do not really care about 1800 band.
I like Nokia's, any N phones coming out ?
Thanks for the help

It's not a Nokia, but if you're big on 3G, the LG CU500 is an obvious contender.

For your band requirements, you will need a Quad Band phone since Triband phones have 850 or 900. I would get the SE W810i. It doesn't have 3G but does have EDGE.

I thought G3 and Edge were the same, I could be wrong ?

Yeah you are wrong. EDGE the max speed is like 236kb/s while 3G/UMTS is around 384kb/s-700kb/s with speeds bursting to 1mb/s.

For free its not to bad for starters.
I am hoping to buy it around the Holidays.
I was hoping Nokia would come out the the N for Cingular.
I am into Nokia because I always had good luck.
Will be looking for a unlocked phone.
I do go over seas once a year and they use 900
Just move to Cingular from T-moble so now I have 2 Nokia's 6600.
I am still using T-mobile data plan on my laptop, I am paying only $30 amonth for Edge.
Cingluar can't bet the price.

I was thinking about getting the sony z525a, I currently have a s710 and I was wondering what you thought of the 525a?

I have the Z520a (basically the Z525a without PTT) and it is a great little phone. But going back to flip phones after about 1 year of candybars/swival phones I remember why I left flips. Gonna get a W810i soon enough.

So should I get it...I dont mind flip phones..I hate candybars though.
