Too bad the N95 doesn't have U.S. HSDPA. I wish that the GSM carriers
had standardized on the frequencies. I think that the original poster
didn't care about 3G.
The problem with the V3xx is that it's not a true World Phone, as it
lacks 900 MHz GSM, which is the primary GSM frequency used in Europe and
Asia.

It actually works well in most areas outside of the USA.

Yeah, this looks like the ideal phone for tethering, at least to read
e-mail, and to use as an MP3 player, worldwide.
Maybe Motorola will update the V3xx with UMTS and GSM 900 to compete
with the Nokia 6120.

Doesn't seem like it is likely to be marketed in North America
like that. Much of Cingular's (and Roger's) HSDPA is 1900 MHz. The
850/2100 MHz combination is an Asia-Pacific (e.g. Korea, Australia)
thing, I think.
