"k850 in March? Seriously? The world will have moved on."
Yes, the world would have, but the US would not have. Remember, this is American cellular technology we're talking about here.
Also, although it is a long time away, any American carrier getting a 5MP camera phone, with HSPDA, and the rest of those specs is a pretty-damn-big-deal.
To Anthony #2 - I got my k850 from ebay. The "powerseller" in "Las Vegas" had a very competitive price. Produce was actually shipped from Hong Kong, but arrived the very next day.
I've been happy w/ the speed of the data, the speed of the camera & the overall phone.
There are some complaints: music quality when patched from their proprietary cable to a 3.5 is somewhat muted, Audible.com doesn't technically support it &, while I've jerry-rigged something, it "pops" every minute or so. You forget about this about 20 minutes into a book, but still.
Overall I'm pleased. No going back to Nokia until they get the battery time under control- 5 days no recharging on my k850! & I'm on the phone for work/travel all day. Unbelievable.
Anthony #1, thanks. I have TMo currently and I have been trying to find an independent mobile shop that has it because I want to switch to AT&T and not pay $550 for the phone.

k850 in March? Seriously? The world will have moved on. I wonder if this will be the same launch schedule as their promised k750.
In the meantime, I'm loving mine. Much better for my uses than the N95 ever was.

Hey Anthony, where do you live? Where did you get your K850? 3G look good on AT&T? I'm switching to AT&T once I can get my hands on an unlocked on.
March date is a HUGE joke!.
