        Hey guys,

        I'm from Russia and own one of this phones. It is really nice gadget, although a bit expensive (about $1000US).

        And it HAS FM RADIO! Do not say it hasn't!

        PS.
        That's right, HTC is Korean brand. But Russians not only able to sell gas and oil. We although have enough nuclear misseles. Don't take it in person, just friendly reminder.

                Speaking of popularity - there are two WiMax networks in Moscow - Scartel Yota and Comstar Direct WiMax. Yota is very popular, but mainly on notebooks. Hardly anyone wants to buy a special phone to surf from phone browser. So yes, not really popular phone, but popular network.

                  - No 3G
                  it's not a disadvantage, as this phone was made exclusively for moscow and there is no 3g network in moscow.
