Warranty in Europe (n95 8Gb) if I buy in USA?

Hi,

I'm thinking to buy a N95 8Gb in USA in 2 weeks (I'll be there for 1 week) and I don't know if the warranty will remain valid in Europe just in case I have any problem. Can any of you help me?

On the other hand regarding the SW updates, will I be able to upgrade it to upcoming SW releases using a Europe code?. I've read somewhere that there are several product codes and depending on them you can upgrade it sooner or later. So, will I have any problem with updates?

Isn't the N95 8GB that's sold in the US a European model anyway? Don't quote me on that, I certainly don't own one, but the N95 8GB doesn't have a US version.

i read somewhere that the US one will not work here because of differences in frequency etc.

I don't think so. It is compatibel with all frequency ranges (900, 1800, 1900, 2100).

All versions of the N95 are compatible with all the GSM frequencies, so they'll work anywhere for GSM/GPRS. However, they do not all have compatible 3G frequencies, so you'll be limited to slower data transfer if you get the wrong N95 for your region.

I think this is how it goes:
N95-1 (original, silver, 64MB RAM and lens cover): European 3G
N95-3 (silver, 128MB RAM, no lens cover): US 3G
N95 8GB (black, 128MB RAM): European 3G
