Okay, so i really want to buy the k700i
i've pretty much made up my mind...
Just 2 things before i finalize my purchase:
1. Are there any k700i users in the US that are on AT&T or Cingular? If so, how's the 900 signal reception?
2. Is there any major difference between the USA version k700i being sold on E-bay, and the European version for example? Is it just the plug and warranty? Do u think i should get the USA version even if it costs a bit more?
Any input would be appreciated!
THX in advance!
PS: another thing... will the USA version have the latest firmware? or should i still buy whatever cable is needed to upgrade it?

I'm gonna buy the docking station most likely to upgrade the firmware. Yes, both US and Euro models are the same save the plugs and warrenty.
Another thing, ATT and Cingular don't use 900, thats in Europe.. they use 850 because they are cheap and are updating their towers from TDMA 850 to GSM 850, instead of GSM 1900 like the rest of the nation. The k700i does not support GSM 850.. only US tri-band phones do like the t616 and the t637, they drop out gsm900 for europe though, I don't know if SE makes a quad-band phone. Probably not. This is one of the many reasons I use T-mobile, they stick to GSM 1900 (that and the fact I get free wap and wireless web, unlimited.. free), t-mobile gives out unlock codes just by sending them an email... yada yada yada.
