The American versions of the phone doesnt not have the ability to use European 3G? Just a thought. Thought I read something like that somewhere.

They are all being built with the same bands. The ones in bold are the ones needed for ireland.

Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/1700/2100

I verified that the US is compatible with Eurozone.

Is the American version of the N900 different than the EU version?

the American *N900 is much fatter and slower and the GPS only has 2 valid locations outside of the US, "Europe" and "Asia", but that's as detailed as you'll get.

*joking.

expansys put their date back again too.

so can anyone list all the valid places to order from in Ireland ie all those that will deliver to Ireland?

Just of the phone from Amazon and the expected shipping date is today. They could not say if they have it in stock. So Fingers crossed may have it this week:D Also read some reviews on those who have already received retail version from Nokia & seem to be happy. Think I saw someone had it in landscape mode on you tube

joedumper

I'd be very surprised if Amazon actually dispatch today ( although very happy if they did ).

As far as I can see, the only place that has starting shipping is the preorders on Nokia's online stores.

Rumours say the other retailers most likely won't have it till after christmas :mad:

You mean portrait mode? That was a bug someone discovered but couldnt replicate. It happened when they tried to open the phone dialer and slid out the keyboard. Hopefully Nokia will develop the bug into a feature for a future update.

If you have any relatives in Uk, get it shipped there, and ask them to post it over to you, i have a cousin living in Warminster, who received his delivery about a week or so ago.

aye, I know a guy in Armagh,
have just asked him if it's ok to send it to him.

depends how new your 3 sim card is. some people have it working on sim cards that are over a year old and some have it working on ones that are about 8 months old, but some say they have sim cards for 2 years ago and they dont work.

no sure at this point. they say three sims dont work full stop and it will be fixed before the new year. at this point who knows if we will even have are phones by then!!

The fix is due out in the next firmware release which is supposed to be before Christmas.

I just emailed amazon today to see what they would say and got this
