Toshiba's G900 launching this month in Europe and Japan?

Hold tight Europeans and Japanese -- if reports straight from a showcase in Paris are to be believed, you'll be able to get your palms around Toshiba's inviting G900 "this month." Of course, with but a few days left until July, it will only be a matter of hours before this hunch is proven true or false, but considering that it did already pass through the gates of the FCC, it's not too far fetched. So, do let us know if you're able to locate one across the pond in the coming days, will ya?

YEP!!! I checked one engadget article that says it's tri-band HSDPA capable, meaning, yes, it would work on cingy!!!

I swear i will import this thing as soon as it's out.

Unfortunately you didnt read the rest of their post...
Update: Sorry to break hearts here, but it appears that this particular variant of the G900 isn't even remotely bound for US shores; besides failing to support WCDMA 850 / 1900, it doesn't even offer GSM 850. Our apologies for the mix-up; let's hope the next G900 we see in the FCC offers just a little more juice. [Thanks, Mike]

no tri-band HSDPA for the G900. It's a triband GSM (900, 1900, 2100, no US 850mhz) and single band HSDPA (2100mhz so no US 3G). Great phone but not very useful in the US. Europeans should pick one up though! Older engadget article is wrong and the FCC tests confirm no triband HSDPA.

Yeah! But that is not an iPhone, why can we call it a phone?
