Nokia E72 in stores now, somewhere

Amazon's US pre-order site hasn't heard the news yet nor has Nokia USA's on-line store. Nevertheless, Nokia assures us that the E72 is "in stores now" and should cost €350 (as announced) before taxes and carrier subsidies are applied. Remember, this S60-powered followup to the much loved E71 sports a new 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5-mm headphone jack, microSD slot (4GB included in the box), A-GPS and integrated compass, 10.2Mbps HSDPA, and new optical navigation pad right where a thumb would like it. The E72 also packs the latest version of Ovi Maps and Nokia Messaging with homescreen access to your IM accounts. Now scram buster and let us know if your pre-orders have been filled -- this baby's not going to unbox itself.

Please help!! I travel back and forth from europe to the states so I need a world phone. Android isn't quite polished up enough yet, so I think I'm going for the E72. But I don't know which version would work with which carrier (sprint, verizon, Tmobile, etc.) in the US...

E72-1 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/2100 HSDPA
E72-2 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/1900 HSDPA
E72-3 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100 HSDPA

I've been out of the states for a while, so I don't know who has the best pay-as-u-go voice and data plans there but from reading the site I should stay away from ATT.....? I was also looking at the E75, but I don't know the WCDMA freqs on that model. Can anyone help?
