I don't know if it will ever "Come to US" but it is widely available from online retailers. I have been seriously considering picking up one of these phones as a replacement for my Pearl, as I am a big fan of nokia devices. It's the same size as the pearl but toss in wlan and other goodies.

What gets lost using it in the states is the 3.5G speed. You would be bound to EDGE speed at best unless Nokia spins a ATT 3G version like they did with the N75.

Do you know Nokia’s part number for the US version of this phone? There are many places selling it, like buy.com, but they don’t list if it’s the US version or not.

A few places have it now, with a US warranty. You can check the howardforums thread for those names. Otherwise, go to hi-mobile.net.
