found my old panasonic FOMA p900i... worth anything ?

[atsun12]

From what i rememeber, this phone is worthless in NA right ? I had it cause i was in japan for a very brief period, but ended up coming back.. phone is literally in mint condition except the box is crushed cause i had to mail my phone separate... anyone know what i can do with this thing ?

[yangj08]

Sell it to someone in Japan? I mean, it's just a plain ol' P900i. If it was a P900iV you could probably sell it outside Japan too.

It's worth being an alarm clock.

[fireshark]

Try passing it off as a P900iV to unsuspecting FF fanboys, otherwise use as alarm

Does it have UTMS 2100 or w/e is in HK? Send it to me: I'll pay for shipping

[IonNuke]

I believe the P900i is 3G only anyways.

I believe the P900i is 3G only anyways.

Then if the 3G freq's are the same as the ones in HK it would work, no?

[AL9999]

Yeah 3G 2100 only without (official) roaming; with a hypersim you can probably get it to work.

But I would have to get the 3G-SIM from IonNuke or else incoming won't work... or is that only the newer models?

Either way if you don't want it OP send it to me

[stevetam]

i don't know why people still want the p900iV.... FFVII AC wasn't even that good....

[Inferno187]

but the phone was sexy :P
I still have my P900iV, though it has seen better days...

[stevetam]

the p900iV is still worth something...a considerable price when FFVII AC fanboys go screaming and bid to colect it

[hvguy]

ive still got mine as well... bought it about... 3 years ago? or more lol...

just poked my US T-mobile sim card in it and its still confused to what it is.. whats this hypersim? I think I read about somebody somewhere in california getting the phone to work, but he couldnt use the internet.. or maybe he couldnt text.. i forget..

hypersim? im gonna google some

That's going to do all of nothing for you. It is absolutely incapable of being anything more than a music player/camera/video recorder in America due to the lack of proper 3G bands. If you're keeping it for the FF collector's value, then keep it, but if you want something that actually works, sell it and get a newer model.

I was afraid of that =( after more searching that night, it became a grim reality.
