I have a standard V3 from Cingular using MediaNet Unlim tethered vi
Bluetooth to my laptop. If I upgrade on ebay to a V3x (the one with 3
UTMS) and put my current SIM in the new phone will I automatically hav
a UMTS unlimited laptop connection? Basically is the MediaNet Unlim th
same servers as the UMTS

The V3X is a tri band phone and does not have the 850 band. There's lotsa
places on the Cingular system it will not work. A suggestion, get the V3I,
it's quad band.

But it doesn't have UMTS.

But UMTS is no good if the phone won't work.

Good Point,but I want a 3G phone so the V3x is the only option in
RAZR. So two questions: What is a good Quad Band 3G phone, and stil
my original question from the first post

V3x runs at 2100mhz for 3G/UMTS

V3x for Cingular would be a waste of money and not work in places where
Cingular runs an 850 network. You couldn't even make a voice call.

Let's start a new thread. :)
See <http://cingular.com/media/cingular_video_index> for your answer.
Which is "yes".
