Support NeoGAF

The N95 and N96 both look really good, but it looks as though they're not compatible with my SIM card for some reason (it isn't 2G or 3G, but something else they call NextG, which doesn't seem to do anything but limit compatibility). I'll have to investigate if there's a way around this.

Nokia N95-3 supports the NextG network, Telstra sells it although you can probably buy it cheaper online. Its the phone i am using at the moment, much better battery life and extra RAM compared to the original n95

there is also the n95-4 which is black 8GB version, it works on the NextG network. Not sure when telstra are going to release it but you can buy it online

there will probably be a NextG versions of the n96 and n85 although you might have to wait a while

Wait... so it has to be special NextG hardware, or will it be supported out of the box?

There any options for SIM-less Sprint users like myself? It'd be a nice upgrade from my Motorola Q, but I'm guessing it won't really work with my network. And does the iPhone work well enough as a USB modem for Vista, as it's something I use my Q for more and more these days with the unlimited data plan.

I'm not familiar with Sprint but if that's a network that doesn't use Sim cards then your out of luck. iPhone can only be used with sim-card networks, as most other phones.
Basically there are two main types of phones, those that use sim cards and those that don't. 80% of the world phones take sim cards, the others use various similar technologies some called CDMA etc...

Blackberry Storm comes out soon, looks like a great phone.
