Would be even more attractive, for me, if, instead of offering only
"800/850/1900/2100MHz for AT&T and 900/1700/2100MHz for T-Mobile",
there were a true world-band 800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100 version.

Severely hobbled with Symbian^3 unfortunately.

But there's already a Chinese clone (CJ-3) running Android (2.1):

But no specs on RF bands used ... much less any indication of 3-band 3G.
Most Chinese clones don't have any 3G bands at all.
