    thank you for the help so far !! I read the other post...

    Does any phone with GSM have CDMA counterpart?? For example is there a Nokia N95 for CDMA and one for GSM?
    For example I like the Nokia 5800, but i
    a) cannot find a carrier, that offers a package deal with a contract, not even att...
    b) does that mean i would have to buy the phone for regular price?
    c) get a contract with ATT or t-mobile, with another phone what i will ot use??
    because if i get a contract they will give me a phone with it? what do i do with that phone ? sell?
    because they won't give me a lower rate with i just want the contract? or?

    This is quite confusing for me....!

    Thank you anybody who is willing to help!!!!!

    Well, it sounds like you have the basics down.
    Here in the States, we have 2 different cellular carriers, SIM based (AT&T, T-Mobile), and CDMA (US Cellular, Sprint, Verizon).

    You are correct in saying that you can't use your phone with US Cellular. And you can't use a US Cellular with a SIM Based, such as AT&T.
    Read this:
    GSM or CDMA?

    Hopefully that will help answer your questions.

    Hello,
    I just moved here to the states, abaout 8 weeks ago and i am still using my old Nokia N 73. But i would like to get a new phone soon, with internet acess... i like the Iphone, but probably, would like to get some cheaper dataflatrate... since ATT seems for me to be to expensive...
    Now i thought about getting the Nokia 5800... seems to be a good fit for me and the money it costs...

    Right now i use a go card from ATT. I am hapy with the service, but like i said data rate seems to be bit expensive...

    I always in germany purchased phone for cheap since i always made a 2 year contract. I cannot find a provider whichseems to be able to offer a contract combined with a Nokia 5800 for a good price (+ good reception here in Viginia and a fair data rate)....

    I also get confused with the use / not use of simcards.... For example i still have a N73... can i ONLY use this with carriers which use simcards??? My wife got US Celluar... and she has a phone witout simcard... so i could NOT use US Cellular? OR could I? This would be similar to a new phone like the N 5800 , or??

    Can anybody et me some info on this topic...
    It is very appreciated...

    Alex
