So i work with this dude from brazil.
I have a new sony ericson cell and have loved it.. till i saw his.
his was 3 years old and had a 2.0 sony cybershot built in with a flash
he says their newest model has a 3.1 mp cybershot in it.
so 2 questions. Why do american phones sucks so much when brazil has got better phones than us (no wonder why no one over seas liked the iphone)
and b: can I order one from over-seas and unlock it to work in america with my sim card
thanks guys

http://iphone.unlock.no/
should be iphone.unlock.yes :P
he might just be a rich bastard from brazil with the hookup on good phones..
what's the big deal about the iphone? i got a moto slvr with itunes and can play mp3's.. i got a camera.. it can get on the internet..
it's pretty much the same thing only slicker with a touch screen and bigger and more $$$..

I'm sure its something to do with $$$. Friends used to work at disney all the time, and all the foreigners would have pimp daddy phones, and we would get an equiv maybe a year or 18 months later.
There are a few out there I have my eye on, and yes you can usually unlock them one way or another.

Don't buy a sony ericsson, get a nokia n95 8gb. They're are where its at. Symbian > UIQ 
I got mine sim-free (as in completely unbranded / network free) for £130

The unided states is corrupt when it comes to technology. Something amazing gets developed and the phones of every other country has it within a couple years. The companies in the u.s. introduce the technology very slowly so they can produce hundreds of versions all 500 bucks each. As for getting a phone from over seas and unlocking it and using it.. That is kinda iffy. Such example is a friend in one of my college classes a few years back recently moved here from japan. He had a phone with video calling (2 cameras, 1 for pictures and one for video calling) and that was just the start of all the amazing shit that inexpensive phone had, but none of the cool features worked cause the cell providers in the united states dont support alot of features that foreign phones have.
