UMTS = WCDMA = 3G

The WCDMA networks support video calls, but it will not work on "regular" GSM/GPRS (EGPRS) networks.

WCDMA in North America works on the 1900MHz frequency band, and elsewhere in the world 2100MHz is used. I don't know if there's a North American version of the N80 with 1900MHz WCDMA, or if it only has 2100MHz WCDMA (which means it will not work on a North American WCDMA network).

Nope...there's no US version of N80. I have a N80ie here in the US and no 3G :frown:

You can use Cingular EDGE or WLAN for video conf. though

Hope that helps,

That's true on Cingular getting UMTS...but, just like what N/A said before the US 3G band is 1900 and N80 only supports 2100
