It will works in US as long as the mobile carrier use GSM1900.</p> <p>3) I have both Mac OS and Vista in my iMac. &nbsp;However, I can&#39;t tell because I always have problems to transfer music with iTunes (Mac version). &nbsp;Example, songs are transferred but did not show up in the Music Library. &nbsp;In my opinion, this is easier to transfer music with Beoplayer in Windows system, if available to you. &nbsp;In addition, I do prefer Lossless files. &nbsp;Serenata did not support Apple Lossless. &nbsp;This is another reason why I use Beoplayer to transfer musics under Windows system.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/225204.aspxFri, 04 Sep 2009 16:42:04 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:225204The_Beonic_Man0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/225204.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=225204<p>Thanks to both posts.
