Difference between US and international versions: What exactly is the difference between the US and the international versions of this phone ?

Actually the N97-mini has both European and U.S. 3G bands. It works on 3G anywhere. Copied from Nokia's specs page for the mini: "WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100". edited to add: I googled it and TMobile uses 1700 & 2100 but the 2100 band is slightly off from the European version. The best you can get on TMobile in the U.S. is 2.5G. Still better than Edge. I'm not sure there is a European version (or more correctly, a US version since the Euro version came out first). The only difference would be the tuner frequency timing of the FM radio. And the warranty as you pointed out E.S. edited to add: I went back to Nokia's specs page and it looks like the mini includes both Euro & NAM FM timings. "Stereo FM radio (87.5-108 MHz/76-90 MHz), RDS" - so the FM radio also works anywhere in the world... cool

We have only used our phones in the US .. however Samsung sells the international version and if your carrier (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc) is out of the US I do not see why there would be a problem. Have you contacted your carrier..

The phone is unlocked. The version I got is only good in the Americas (North America, Central, and South). It is not recommended for other countries.

It is the North America version. It is region locked to the USA. It must be used with a North America carrier before it "self unlocks". I had to pay to get my phone unlocked because I live in Singapore. It may not get "4G" in most countries. Most people do not notice because in the USA "HSPA" is effectively the same as "4G". Technically speaking the phone is not "4G". While traveling in the USA the phone appears to receive data just as fast as my iPhone. However, in Singapore it is noticeably slower. No I did not do a data transfer test to check.

"Unlocked International Version" means the phones can be used any carrier around the world and it does not have any carrier logo on it and does not have carrier utilities installed on the phone.

US Means it will only work in the united stats. Global means the phone will work anywhere in the world as long as it can connect to the provider you sign on for service with. If you don't plan to take trips outside of the united stats very often then there is no reason to have the Global phone. :)

They shouldn't be different. Try contacting the company you ordered from. To my knowledge only the international and Verizon versions were different.

Be careful though. These phones are manufactured by different countries. Some versions are better than others. If I were you, I'd run a little search first because the first one I had was a lot better than the one I own now

As I wrote in my review it's not new, not working properly and is not the one advertised. AT&T; has no international versions, only locked phones for US. My advise is to don't make the same mistake I did.

Well, the one in this picture has the at&t; logo on it. You should look for one that says International Version for the unbranded one. That way you will receive all available updates for the phone and not just the ones at&t; decides you should get.

The only difference between the USA version and the international version is the terms of warranty. The model bought in the USA will have a warranty that is valid only in the USA. Since this is a Penta-band phone, it will work allover the world no matter which country you purchased it in. Hope that helps. Don't forget to register your device with Nokia once you receive it.

I too am in the U.S. using ATT. It is made with ATT and T-Mobile's SIM Card networks. It means it can also be used internationally with the same type of SIM card, that's all it means. It costs more than the U.S. version because of the SIM card capability.

The International version has different band ranges which are not used in the U.S. It will still work in the U.S. it just has the following bands: Bands/Modes - 3G HSDPA 3.6 Mbps, WCDMA 850/1900, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 EDGE /GPRS class 10.

this is the AT&T; version, they do not advertise it and when i tried to report it as advertised falsely the seller tried to block my review. I do not recommend this seller, the phone is great though. If you find the international version like you want, i think you will be happy with it.

Depending on the Actual Model, if you're from USA you can have your carrier allow international use. They are generally called "global". If you're from other than the USA you again, need to check with your carrier to make sure it will work. If the phone is not marked "global" it cannot be used out of "its country".

I did not have any problem with this phone in the United States. I guess your chip change might work. Good luck!.
