Carriers? Fat chance! Carriers simply don't offer phones like that. Cingular has come close with the 9300, and they almost offered the N80, but a superphone like the E90 will not be put out with a U.S. carrier anytime soon. It's possible they may sell a stripped down version (remove 2100 band 3G) like they did with the E61/E62, but I doubt it.
This phone makes my headspin it's so awesome, but I don't know if I'm going to wait long enough for it to be available. And when it comes out, we're gonna pay for the awesomeness. It will be worth every penny when it's here, but there will be lots of pennies. . . ☹️

With a little luck maybe it will cone to T-Mobile. Here is the link:http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/03/02 /nokia-e90-hits-fcc-with-lots-of-3g-bands-des tination-t-mobile/

Yeah, I saw that, but it has 3G on THREE bands (850/1900, and 1700). I'm guessing it's just the U.S. version of the phone, that can be used with any U.S. 3G network. I still highly doubt that any U.S. carrier will pick this up, as these uberphones don't ever seem to get approved & officialized. Plus, T-Mo has almost zero B2B market share, and the E90 is a biz device 2 the extreme.
I could be wrong, though - they did get the Nokia 8800, but that was more of a fashion device.

Why doesn't phonescoop have the E90 listed?

It's not even close to being released in any country yet, nor has it been approved by the FCC, which are usually the qualifications for a phone showing up here. Also, it was announced at 3GSM, but not necessarily with final specifications, which is another characteristic the listed on phonescoop usually have.
Personally, I like the way they do it - there's much less speculation about what a phone may or may not do.

Thanks for the info. I wonder how someone has listed the E90 on ebay already. Bidding is over $600 for it as well. there have been several scam auctions listed that ebay has shut down, but this one has been up for over a day.
Guess it's yet another fraudulent auction, just more subtle.
Thanks again.
