i understand that tmobile does not have 3G right now, but my question is that when they will, will this specific n95 8gb phone that i'm buying from ebay work with that or not?
this is the model i'm hoping my phone to be (with the "exact replica of the European version with the 2100MHz WCDMA radio surgically removed and replaced with an 850 / 1900MHz counterpart for speedy data in these lands." for 3G)
T-Mobile's 3G works on 1700. The N95-8gb that you just bought works on 2100. It will not work. The N95 8gb in the link isn't out yet, and when it is, it will only work with AT&T's 3G on the 1700 frequency.
Wow... I am upset Thank you JohnnyBruha for sharing this information with me. I need to return this item and take a hit on the restocking fee. Few more questions:
- Do you have any idea when TMobile is going to launch their 3G?
- Why would it only work on AT&T's 1700 and not TMobiles 1700 (when TMobile comes out with it)?
- Is the phone capable of doing video conferencing and other fancy features without being in the 3G network, I mean can I do video conference using wifi/edge?
AT&T does not use 1700. They use 850/1900 for their 3G frequencies.
Video calling is also network dependent. The only way to do video calling is if you have an N95-3 on Rogers in Canada or an N95-1 or -2 on a European network. AT&T does not support video calling in the US.
Sorry you didn't see this thread before you made your purchase.
i just spoke to a tmobile rep from pittsburg... they don't expect 3G in 2008 and there's a 50% chance in 2009.... so now i'm going to stick with my crackberry curve, stay low and roll my thumbs till the US gets more advance than some of the third world countries....
fyi... i got an email from the ebay seller and he refunded 100% of the money back to my account without charging me any restocking fee. I would highly recommend anyone to buy from rdtwireless on ebay! I had actually bought two N95-2 8GB's and paid $1,362.96 OTD.

$1362.96 OTD?
Does that include shipping? 'cause that's kind of expensive considering my dad went to buy the N95-2 3 days ago from the local cell dealer and it was only $660, cash only (in other words no tax) And the N95-3 was up for $560.
so whats the next best phone in line after the n95 8gb that will work with tmobile? i had the crackberry curve before this and loved it... only issue with that phone was that the web browser sucked and no video recording... i even tried the iphone for 3 days with att and hated it! i need a full web browser phone thats not windows mobile either... sorry to be picky.
You can still use the current N95 8gb with T Mobile, you just won't be able to use the 3G. One way or another, there isn't a phone that uses T Mobile's 3G anyway, so you might as well buy what you'd like if the data speeds are all the same.
i'm sorry to say that i got a chance to play with the N95 at the wirelesstoys store and am not impressed with the keypad at all. my finger kept sliding to the key above or below while trying to push the button... anyone use the bluetooth keyboard with it or whats the alternative? the features on the phone surpassed anyother tho...
