N95 on 3 or o2

would it be worth bringing a N95 back from America to use on 3? i am on 3bill pay, just heard about problems using it on the network? and does the phone work with out chargers?

I can't answer about the first but no phone works without chargers!
However, you can almost certainly get some kind of transformer thingie to use the U.S. charger here. Or else just buy a new charger here.

i mean the phone be charged here with are normal chargers cause both here and america batteries are 3.7volts and just depending which charger its transforming from hte 120v to 3.7v, or 230 to 3.7v in our case. well least thats my understanding, just looking for advice from someone who has already done it??

Yeah a European charger will work on the phone... if buying an N95 in America ..check what bands it works on.. EGSM900, GSM850/1800/1900 MHz (thats what they are here)..and of course make sure its un locked...Tried usa.nokia.com to see the specs and the phone isnt listed..

Actually jus thinking.. You'd be better off JUS getting one here as if you have problems with it ..(an you proably will) you'll be covered by Its European warranty.I know Australian phones etc could not get warranty repairs here...Not sure about America.. but its certainly some thing you'd at least want to check..That was a while ago when i last came across this maybe things have changed..

ye maybe so,, either just wait and wait and wait or pay the 700 now, maybe il just wait, wld get a lot of stick for spending 700 on a phone and nothing on herself
