[CUBE] GSM & IrDA

[Thubten Kunga]

You can buy an unlocked P800 mail order for about $800 now. You can 
then take that phone to a GSM service provider and activate it with a 
card. But by buying it "unlocked", you can change GSM providers on the 
fly since the phone will not be tied to a provider.
