Re: [Skunkworks] Nokia C7 & Nokia C7 Astound
Not necessarily, You can get phones with a SIM card in the US. I have two phones, one is even AT&T branded. They both use SIM cards which am able to use when am in Kenya and when am back in the US. The phones without SIM cards are much cheaper and so thy are more popular. But if you travel in and out of the country once in a while you can go for unlocked phone options. I have attached a pic showing the branding on the phone and the SIM cards. The phones you see are not locked to the AT&T network Steve ----- "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
Steve,
And it uses a SIM card? I was under the illusion that mobile phones in the US of A don't use SIM cards?:-)
Is that all though? I am not able to spot the major difference.

Hey pple,
I am looking at the comparison of the two phones and can't see the difference, or simply, I am unable to see why Nokia made the "Astound" version of the C7.
Please be my third eye:)
