excellent...here in the sates, I use Verizon, so I wouldnt need 850 anyway.
I did go ahead and purchase the triband I wanted for $69 on ebay...unlocked and with 900/1800/1900. Also came with accessories.
I bought my TIM sim card online for $48 (the same one was selling for $90 on another site!).
I am all set...I leave at the end of June and my orders should arrive at my house well in time for my departure. WHOOPEE!!!!! Sicilia, here I come!
Edit: :ranting2: :ranting2: :ranting2: :ranting2: Well, I ordered my SIM card without incient, but my eBay order fell through because the seller was advertising something that wasn't accurate.....the seller was selling the version of the phone with 850 instead of 900 due to a mistake on the part of the vender where they got the phone from

. I was offered my money back, so I am back to the drawing board with getting another phone....its too bad too because that ebay phone was just at the edge of my budget. Oh wel....here's to continuing my search.
