Default Looks like a nice device...

Its just a real shame I can't get one in New Zealand. They have no NZ distributor and so I can't get one of these beauties.

Wonder if it would be possible to get an unlocked one. I'd love to use it with my Cingular account. Then I could toss Verizon.

I ordered one last week, and just now noticed that most of the online purchase options today dropped the "pre-order ... available 10-Jul-06" or whatever date they had. I presume (and of course hope) this means that they got stock today.

Cheers

Default One handed operation

It still looks like this Atom model does not have Soft Keys or an OK button. This make one handed operation very difficult. I think the I-mate JAMmin is a better design (and it's quad band).

How much trouble/lack of service, will I run into having just Tri-Band (minus 850) in the US?

I can't have poor quality of service - afterall, while its a cool PPC it has to be a phone first, otherwise I might as well just have a solid PPC and a separate solid phone.

I used the i-mate jam 900mhz on cingular here in austin and i barely had reception. And when i went to houston for the weekends i couldn't recieve calls, only make calls and a cingular rep told me that was due to 900mhz. so i wouldn't suggest it unless you know if there are 900mhz cingular towers in your area.

I'm getting one as soon as I see it in store in Melbourne.
I've wanted an Atom since I first saw them - this one is the same only BETTER.

850MHz and 1900MHz are used quite commonly in the US, so short answer would be "yes". You're better off looking at a quad-band device.
