I'm going the sim cutter route myself. Still waiting on mine from Ebay. With shipping, it ended up being $7.98. I have a few old sim cards to test b4 i cut the one that counts. @ Gerbick, what emails ? Do u mean messages for us interested ?

In my rush earlier - was posting via the Xoom - I meant e-mails from Nokia Mexico out to people.

Once that happens, then I should be a day ahead on the confirmation(s) on 64gb price(s) and availability and will send out those confirmations via PM and/or e-mail.

Awesome. Keep up the good work. Stupid question: Do u honestly think the 16GB is enough for app storage ? I know there isn't many apps now, but down the road who knows ? Just still on the fence on what model.... Thanks

16gb has served me well on my iPad, Atrix, iPhone, TouchPad, N810, N900, HTC HD7S and Dell Venue Pro. But I tend to rarely carry music with me, mostly eBooks, cbrs and a movie or two. If that.

And I've never run out of space. Yet.

Thanks for the reply. Most don't care to answer dumb questions around here. Coming from an E71, i don't have much knowledge about storage. Just about 2GB or so of music for the gym. This will hopefully be my first touchscreen exp. w/ a smartphone. Much appreciated... Oh, & what's cbrs ?

It's a compressed file format for comic books.

Don't sell your questions short. The age-old "how much space should I need" isn't a dumb question. It's, in fact, so important that Bill Gates STILL gets haunted by his own "640 kilobytes should be more than enough for any user" statement (even if it's out of context). Additionally, not a whole lot of people know what a CBRS file is (and I see someone's already answered it, so I won't). So far.. that two good questions out of two. I, for one, recommend that you keep asking questions.

Yep. They're saying October 17th (odd day) so far, but even that's up in the air. They're still building stock. Telcel won't have it until after Nokia has it. But if they do, branding on the lock screen is supposed to happen via Telcel, not Nokia Mexico.

well, they got me waiting. Telcel will rarely brand their off~contract phones, and if they do they won't touch the physical hardware. Again, they will only stock the black phone. Nokia mx might stock them at first, but telcel will sell them for sure. Nokia has no other store to sell the phones to the public, unless it is via a carrier.
