the phone system shouldn't be too different; it's on a different frequency or something.
about 4 years ago, nokia phones started to get REALLY popular out here. everyone started to get the 5190 model with the original changeable face; in my opinion, nokia is responsible for making cell phones enormously popular in the US. now there are other brands like ericsson, at&t, motorola...but nokia is still the most popular phone out here, especially among the younger population. but still, not everyone out here has a cellphone; i'd say 60% of people (at the most) have one. because not everyone uses cell phones in the USA, we get shafted when it comes to the neat phones. yeah, we've got some nice nokias and other phones, but we miss out on the really nice models. my dad works in asia and has this AWESOME samsung phone that he can use all over the world, and europe and asia have some really nice nokias that i wouldn't hesitate to buy. the US market for cell phones just isn't big enough to have the neat stuff. |
