Aha! thanks! And I even found a Polish distributor! Better, it's only
about $370 with the current exchange rate--bad news, though. It's only
a 3-band phone--two here, and one in the US. That makes it nearly
useless, IMO. My son used his tri-band in the US this past summer, and
half the time he couldn't get a decent enough signal to even text.
(which must be really bad, as sms uses the most basic carrier signal).
Where I tend to travel in the US, I would need a quad-band. I noticed
that the G1 _is_ available in Poland now, but I don't like the
carrier. I like the idea of a linux phone, but I'm _really_ drooling
over the Palm Pre. Never wanted an iPhone--too limiting for me--no
multitasking, no copy/paste are the biggest offenders. I don't know
what I'll do when my poor Treo dies, so your posts have been helpful
to me. ;-)
