Nokia N95-3 with USA 3G bands, available at your local Nokia Store
If you thought the Nokia N95 was the perfect phone with a great mix of high-end features, yet missing the one thing most Americans need, you might be happy to know that today is the day for rejoicement. Currently in stock at the New York and Chicago Nokia Stores, the Nokia N95-3 model should bring all you AT&T HSDPA-loving fans some happiness. It looks like Chicago has the "silver / dark sand" model, while New York has the "silver / black" model in stock, so make sure you know your color palate before you go ahead and buy one. Check for our hands-on review with photos a little later in the day!
P.S. The early word on the street from mobile diva Darla Mack says that the battery life on the new N95-3 model is outstanding!
Pat Torney: not quite the same at&t. Check out first three paragraphs of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cingular and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Wireless_Services.
Basically, Cingular was a subsidiary company of SBC and BellSouth (two Baby Bells). Cingular bought AT&T Wireless; SBC bought BellSouth and then AT&T which effectively brought Cingular 100% under the SBC umbrella. Then SBC renamed themselves the new at&t.
So now you have the newly named at&t owning the newly named at&t Mobility.

I had iPhone and went back to Treo 750 and never regretted one bit. iPhone has a good browser (without 3G support and no flash). EDGE connection is pathetic at best and I can use my laptop with WIFI at home so why do I need iPhone for that. Why do I need Google Maps without GPS? No Instant messaging on the iPhone either and the phone suck.
I upgraded my Treo 750 to Windows Mobile 6 (that supports HTML email), upgraded browser to Opera 8.65 which is awesome and supports flash, have 3G internet connection that flies, Instant Messaging, MMS, and it plays MP3 and Videos. I also got it unlocked in one day from AT&T. Not to mention that I can open and edit attachments as well as email files. All things iPhone cannot do.
I will never get an iPhone and be subjected to Apple rules that make no sense. Apple has become very unfriendly company and I will not buy their products. I should not have to ask permission to install applications on MY device or to unlock MY device which is not even subsidized.
