Another one, this one from Nokia. I couldn´t have said things better myself:

"It’s good to see Nokia (NYSE:
NOK<http://finance.intomobile.com/intomobile?Page=QUOTE&Ticker=NOK>)
finally making true world phones. By this I mean a single device that sings
on both 900/2100MHz and 850/1900 MHz, used in Europe/Asia and North America,
respectively. On that note, the Nokia N97 mini has been spotted at the
FCC<https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=375667&fcc_id=%27QVVRM-553%27>with
a quad-band 3G radio, meaning you’ll be able to use it both in the
U.S.
and Europe, which is cool. You know rest of the mini’s specs, so I won’t
repeat them here. I’ll only add that I’m hoping this will be the Finnish
giant’s practice for all high-end devices in the future. No one wants to
have a special phone when travelling, right?"
