This is actually a little disconcerting, if true (and I looked at the FCC site, I agree with your assessment, I just hope we're wrong) _many_ areas in the US only have 850MHz GSM coverage - including my commute to-from work, IIRC. That would unfortunately be a deal-breaker for me in the GTA02. This is only for the GTA01BV4 though, I assume the GTA02 will have separate FCC approval. interesting site - I imagine this is where the initial news on the iphone leaked... :P _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
