2008/7/7 michael shiloh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:The Neo Freerunner is tri-band available in two versions: The so-called "850 MHz" version supports 850MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz The so-called "900 MHz" version supports 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz As you can see, both version support 1800MHz and 1900MHz. The reason for these two versions is that some rural regions in the USA use 850 MHz instead of the more-or-less world standard of 900 MHz. There may be some rare places in the rest of the world that use 850 MHz, but for the most part the 850 MHz version is considered the USA version, and the 900 MHz version is suitable for just about everywhere else in the world.Thanks for the clarification. According to Wikipedia, "other areas" is confined to the Americas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands#GSM-850_and_GSM-1900 It used to be that "three-band" phones were referred to as "world phones" (i.e. can be used anywhere in the world), now it looks like we'll need quad-band phones to achieve this (or GNU Radio? http://www.gnuradio.org/trac).
