I've own the 8801 for a month and it a big deception to find out that my $700 Nokia won't work in Asia or Europe because it does not have the 900 band. I call Nokia to express my concern and they told me that I can buy the 8800 witch will work any where but it is not supported or warranty in US. I finally decided to return it and buy a Motorola Razr v3 even though I've always owned a Nokia till now. I think the 8801 or 8800 is a big flashy joke that has drove me away from the brand.I would advise nobody to buy this phone unless you need to let your neighbors know that you own a $700 phone. But if I was you neighbor, I know that you are dump enough to pay for a 5 stars hotel room with no bed in it for you to sleep on. I had waited for that phone a while but what a deception.
