I don't understand by flash the phone...I am new to this. I have a nokia
2260 and when I went to ebay to purchase the nokia 3560 and called At&T
today to active the Nokia 3560 they said it was a gsm phone but don't know
how that can be cuz the nokia 3560 is a TMDA phone. Please explain. Thanks.

They were wrong. (It's not the first time!) Perhaps they confused
3560 with 3650 which is a GSM phone. Previously Nokia used the last
two digits of the model number to indicate what technology the phone
was for e.g. xx60 for TDMA, XX70/85 for CDMA, XX90 for GSM. That's no
longer the case. The 3560 is definitely TDMA and is among the last
two recent TDMA phones that Nokia made.

I tried last night about transfering my data by calling AT&T and they said
that the phone that I got was a gsm phone which was weird. It does says
Cingular Extended on the screen. The reason I purchased the phone was that
the Nokia 3560 is a TMDA phone. But at AT&T they told me that the phone is
locked. So I have to go to an AT&T Store to get it unlocked... I had bought
some software to unlock the phone but haven't got it I am going to try it if
that doesn't work I will have to go to AT&T Store. Thanks anyway.
