I live in the US and have service thru T-mobile, will I be able to use the 6680 on tmobile. They should be getting EDGE service in the near future but until then I would still like to get this phone. It says its a tri-band phone so I assume it should, but if anyone could clarify that would be great.
6680 compatibility
Yes, you would
6680 is Dual mode WCDMA/GSM operation phone and has tri-band GSM coverage on up to five continents (GSM 900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 2100 networks).
and here is the link to 6680 page on Nokia web site :
The thing to note is that the 6680 will not work in North America in such areas where your carrier/service provider/operator (or another carrier with which your on carrier has a roaming agreement) only has 850MHz coverage.
In other words, in North America 850MHz or 1900MHz are used.
There rest of the world uses 900MHz or 1800MHz.
