I purchased (impulse buy) one of these from Tiger Direct for $49. It's a 850/1900 version and I'm using it on T-Mobile. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I'm happy with it. I bounce back and forth between a Treo 650 and the F3 depending on what I'm doing at the time. I have to say I admire it for its simplicity. Battery life, sound quality and reception all seem commendable.
Woot! I've been wanting one of these since the first time I heard about them. I didn't know they had US bands! And I definitely didn't know I could buy one on Tiger Direct. Thanks a million. Buying one right now.
wow thanks for the tigerdirect reference. it is 39 before shipping. fantastic. just ordered one, after ordering a 800/1800 for oversea relatives two days ago.

Great. Three weeks after I buy mine, they lower the price by 20%. Call my lawyer. Who do they think they are, Apple? :o)
This may be a dumb question, but does the charger that comes with euro model (850/1900) on tiger direct work with US AC outlets?
Alan,
Yes it does. The charger has a US plug and no other adapters. It's also fairly compact.
:) thanks Gary! I may order one in the near future.
