Nokia 6682 / 6681
Got my phone today...
I accidentally ordered an unlocked 6681 instead of the 6682 thinking I was getting a jump on Cingular's PTT service soon to come. Not being very cell knowledgable I soon learned that this phone was designed for out of country use. 900/1800/1900 mhz.

I would google it. Or yahoo. I will try to help you out if you can't find it.

Ok, I'll try. You wouldn't happen to know where I could get a decent hip holster for this thing, huh? Too big maybe? I think I'll shop for one of those cute little cell phone pouches. Wonder if it'll fit that either? 😛
