I'm confused ... Baltimore and Washington were listed as 2 of the intial 15 UMTS areas, so why wouldn't be available in these markets?
Also called a few stores in Columbia and Glen Burnie this afternoon. Got the same answers: end of Feb/early March to April to I don't know.
Quite frustrating.
I'd take just a pure GSM phone that was reasonable and offered the same capabilities as the Samsung and LG, however, all offerings now are missing SOMETHING I want.
And bosstl is right ... they are selling UMTS/HSDPA data cards around here.

the clerk at Loch Raven store seemed extremely confident of the Wed release date - fwiw

I hope that's right. I really want a new phone.
I'm a bit impatient, but my wife's the one that's really bugging me for a new phone.

if your waiting for a UMTS phone for that specific "data while you talk" connection you are gonna hafta wait... if you dont use data at all why wait?
