I am in the market for a new cell phone and this phone (http://uk.lge.com/proddivergent.do?actType=search&categoryId=07&modelCategoryId=&parentId=&category_level= [/url) has caught my eye. After checking ebay's outrageous prices I was wondering if anyone in the UK might be able to tell me the retail price there of the phone. It's an odd request but am wondering if I might be able to have someone pick up the phone and ship it to me. I would have to attempt to get to you know but from my experiences I have noticed most CAG's are honest. If in the very least I can get a retail price on one it would be appreciated.
Thanks

With the phone being triband, depending where you are, it would only be good for Tmobile. Cingular uses 850mHz quite a bit, so if you have Cingular, you would be out of luck coverage wise. Try checking around at cell phone forums like howardforums.com. Im sure if someone over there isnt selling it, they could point you somewhere that is.

The phone is GSM. It should work on Cingular.

Yes, but it doesnt support the 850mhz band, which Cingular uses (extensively in some parts of the US). You may notice your coverage may be less (sometimes drasticly less) by using 1900mHz coverage only.

this map shows Cingulars 1900mhz and 850mhz coverage. That phone will only work in the pink areas

I'm in the pink area. My contract is up with Verizon so I'll probably switch to Cingular for this phone, or T-Mobile. If I can get this phone for $300 or under, I'd be happy as heck.
