This is a question for the Europeans here that has absolutely nothing to do with our favorite car entertainment system.

It's about that time when I'm itching for a newer, sexier cel phone. Poking around, it seems the nifty new Ericsson T39 is pretty much everything I could want, and it supports GSM in the U.S. and everywhere else. The catch is, of course, that you can't get it here yet.

So, for those of you in the know, what would I have to pay to buy the phone without a service plan over there (such that I could then activate it here)? Would I do better to do some kind of deal to activate it in Europe, immediately cancel it, and go home before they figure out the depth of my nefarious deed?

Thanks!
