Sucks being teased with cool phones we'll never see on this side of the world. What is so hard about making the phone quad band instead of triband, and releasing it globally? When does having more customers buying your product become a *bad* thing?

With 3G growing more popular, handset manufacturers need to start providing the consumer with more options for US 3G services.]]>Aug 14th 2007 10:01AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/Aug 14th 2007 10:23AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/Aug 14th 2007 4:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/
We live in such a global world, why do they still make phones like this triband? It'd be understandable if this were just an entry level phone and they were just trying to cut costs, but this is an installment on their highly sucessful CyberShot line. What is a CyberShot phone without a signal? A camera. For that just buy a damn CyberShot camera. But then again, this comes from a person who bought a Nokia 6170 for looks.

Anyway, impending modding-down aside, it is a really nice phone and I hope that they bring a similar one out for the US networks.]]>Aug 14th 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/

Another good source for all EuroAsia phones is GSMArena.com and, on eBay, Integron Technologiies.

U.S. phone buyers should know that if you purchase a Nokia, Sony Ericsson or other phone intended for use in another part of the world, there is NO warranty service in the U.S. Nokia is rapidly expanding retail stores in the U.S.--and other manufacturers may do the same--but, until then, Tri-Band and Quad-band mobile phones, usually with an "i" after the main model number--lack warranties.

Tri-band phones operate at 1900Mhz, the predominant U.S. frequency used by AT&T, T-Mobile and a few smaller cellular carriers. There are few areas of the country only offering 850Mhz analog coverage, because carriers, through their roaming agreements with other carriers, blanket the country.

Generally speaking, if you stick to to major brand names and buy from a reputable source, you'll have few problems with unlocked GSM phones. (Nokia and Sony Ericsson are the easiest to configure for WAP, SMS, MMS and email over the Web.) T-Mobile also has an unsupported phone division with an automated setting service.

All major U.S. carriers--AT&T, Verizon and Sprint--now offer 3G services on selected handsets, and T-Mobile will introduce its 3G service in 2008. 4G is the hot technology currently under development overseas, offering download speeds of over 100Mbps.]]>Jan 20th 2008 11:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/14/sony-ericssons-victoria-gets-official-as-the-cyber-shot-k770/
From Phonesource-USA FAQ's:

The phone does NOT come with any warranty as the phones are imported from Europe or Asia. However, we offer a 24 month warranty through www.cpscentral.com . If you do not purchase the warranty, then you need to contact the manufacturer in the phone's country of origin for service. If you do purchase the warranty, then you need to contact CPS for service. Please do not contact us regarding the warranty as we have no access to any warranty information, nor do we have any relationships with the phone manufacturers to facilitate the repair.
