Looking at Nokia's specs - http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/ * Quad-band GSM EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 * WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz It is not clear to me whether these co-exist in every device or it is either/or. I'd assume both EDGE and WCDMA - AFAIK it's normal in modern handsets. I suppose a 3G GSM sim from, say, Orange should work. EDGE should be backwards-compatible, in the sense that if there is no EDGE coverage it should still work with GPRS, etc. I have not tried, though - it is an assumption only. >From the Amazon link you posted it seems that it is GSM indeed # This unlocked cell phone is compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. Not all carrier features may be supported. It will not work with CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless, Alltel and Sprint. Can anyone explain authoritatively what "unlocked" means? Is it (as I suspect) just an assurance to the iPhone-crazy Americans that they don't have to pay AT&T for 10 years or whatever? Or is it "modified in some unspecified way"? -- Oleg Goldshmidt | o...@goldshmidt.org _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
