Has anyone in NA got a Vue Pro? I've been checking the usual sources (eBay, etc.) but can only find the unit being sold for European markets.

I'm wondering if this is truly a 'world phone' that would work on AT&T's 3G frequencies...

Freely available from Dell.com. Only has T-Mo and Euro 3G - 900/1700/2100.

Interesting... not even picked up on search on dell.ca.

eBay only has two listings -- one from the UK and one from US, currently going @ $300 USD (regularly $499USD from dell.com). Wonder why more people aren't reselling? Maybe they are REALLY happy with their phone...

I am a US user of the DVP, and I would never resell this phone. The OLED screen is gorgeous, without any crazy tinting like I have seen on the Samsung Focus, and the slideout keyboard is perfect for my needs. Sizewise, it feels smaller than my previous phone, the HTC Touch Pro 2, and the build quality is so much better than that phone.

The NoDo update really improves app load times and removes all the Marketplace hangs that were previously there.
