(*) Does triband mean 900/1800/1900 (European version) or 850/1800/1900 (NA version)? I suspect it's the former, which makes the phone less than useful on this side of the pond.

47 Euros for shipping sounds way too high unless they are using overnight shipping for the holidays.
I agree it's more likely to be the Euro-triband version....although I've sometimes seen some ebay phone dealers offer a choice of versions.
