This thread needs a little more excitement. Don't think I'm the one to give it though.
@REO hadn't thought about selling the P910a. Its working, its just showing its age a bit. Its also on its third housing because I painted one and broke one. Right now its a very fancy paper weight and ringtone repository.

My P900 is still going strong after two years of use and a rocky start, where I had to send it in to SE US (2 times) and wait 3 mo for it to return functional.

they perform better than I expected. I mean other than a little slowdown and a slight slump in reception, my P910a is still working very well. Battery life is still good and whatnot.
I upgraded because the Cingular phone was cheap, quad-band and had faster internet connections (WiFi and Edge). I'm moving to El Salvador soon, so this is gonna have to operate as my computer replacement and telephone, so the P910a didn't seem like the best choice anymore.

I talked recently to a Cingular Sales guy and he said that C is rolling out UMTS here in the States. I am still waiting for that announcement. If that is true I will be switching to cingular in the Fall after I buy My new P990.

There has been discussion of this for quite some time. As far as I know there have been a few UMTS test cities for quite some time now, at least a year. I spotted a few people walking around Berkeley and San Francisco with some SE UMTS phones about 8 months ago.

A dealer told me it'd be sometime this summer. Though he also said some cities in Cali already has it in use.

Are you talking about the P990? rduncan here on Esato said "No P990 for the U.S. market?!?
Bad news after visiting the SE booth at CTIA 2006 last week (CTIA is the biggest mobile show in the U.S., covering all mobile technologies, not just GSM): the SE rep there shared his disappointment that the P990 is not coming to the U.S. market, as the major GSM companies have declined to purchase it (start sending cards and letters now!). Although one can purchase a European version of the phone (as many have done before), this will not provide optimal radio performance in the US markets and will lack 3G in the U.S.:
- lacks 850 MHz band widely used by Cingular
(and remember, lower frequencies are better,
delivering better indoor signal)
- lacks U.S. 3G bands
since U.S. does not use the same 2150 MHz 3G bands used in Europe
So, we're left with a choice of purchasing a European version that has improved UI and additional features, but no 3G and poorer radio performance. NOT FOR ME,s adly, as I had made up my mind that this was my next phone, and was holding out for it, as many of you are."
I hope this is not entirely true and 3G works on Cingular.
