Actually, WCDMA / HSDPA is the "global standard".

As for the different frequency bands, no one had a choice in that.

Europe's 2100 band overlaps with our 1900 band, so the only way we could have the 2100 band here in the US is if the FCC revoked all of the 1900 MHz licenses. That's what 100% of Sprint and T-Mobile's networks use, so those two companies would basically be out of business. Cingular and Verizon also use plenty of 1900 MHz spectrum, so they'd have to shut down half of their networks as well.

...not really a viable option.]]>Apr 26th 2007 11:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/
I think the FCC beat him to it.]]>Apr 27th 2007 7:36AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/

And the N95 runs on the 2100 band.]]>Apr 27th 2007 8:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/
The currently-available Nokia N95 has quad-band GSM (2G) and WCDMA 2100 (3G).

The quad-band GSM part will work on T-Mobile's network... or Cingular's.

The 3G part will not work in the US, ever, period.]]>Apr 27th 2007 11:44AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/
& yes, n95 wont work with us 3g. i.e, you will not be able to make video calls or use it for hi-speed data except EDGE (which frankly, does not cut it) or WiFi.

A US version of n95 is a rumour, lets see.]]>Apr 27th 2007 11:56AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/Aug 9th 2007 10:48AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/04/26/what-is-this-nokia-with-american-3g/Aug 13th 2007 8:28PM
