Yes, having been raked over the coals several times, the OpenMoko crowd seems to know that they only send the 850 models into North America (unless by special order) rather than the 900 (all models have both the higher frequencies). The differences between the 850 and the 900 are minor but annoying; I'm sure they'll never again make the mistake of paying for a quad-band GSM modem and designing it into a tri-band phone ciruit board. :-) Ian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
