A "real" US N95-3 has high-speed data (HSPDA at 1900/x.) If your box has a picture of a dude, you are welcome to talk to Canadian/European HSPDA networks.

Of course, only ATnT has sought to provide HSPDA at 1900/x. I don't work for them, either.

If it's not a -3, you may have been had

OK,

I'm an "early adopter."

CD player cost $750

Hi-end pre-amp cost $750 ("Why do WE even need a pre-amp? Who do I know that has a pre-amp?)

N95-3 cost $750

FIRST.. If you are looking at a web site offering an "N95," be advised that:

1. if it shows a lens cover, you don't want it (below)
2. if the vendor doesn't offer a view of the back, you don't want it (below)
3. If you are reading this saying "I don't believe I did that!" You, too are an early adopter.

below:

A "real" US N95-3 has NO cover on the lens. The flash is between the lens and the battery case.
A "real" US N95-3 has the words Nseries on the battery cover.
A "real" US N95-3 has a soft "rubberized" back.
A "real" US N95-3 has a box that features a picture of a menu. If there's a picture of a dude on the box, you, too are an early adopter.
A "real" US N95-3 has 80 megabytes user program area. If there's a picture of a dude on the box, you have less than 20 megabytes user program area.
A "real" US N95-3 has 300 or so MORE milliwatt hours in its battery.
A "real" US N95-3 has a GPS that doesn't automatically follow your position. If there's a picture of a dude on the box and you have the latest firmware, the GPS follows you.

Anything else?

A backup/restore from what we would call the "Canadian" version is not entirely successful.
If you are an "early adopter," check your vendor's return policy. (Did I say IMMEDIATELY?)
