Means nothing. Their phones may be GSM-capable spesifically to work overseas. All of my info says that there's no GSM in Japan, but I haven't rechecked recently > Does EDGE fall back to gprs?

Given a phone that supports all of the following, HSDPA will fall back to plain old UMTS will fall back to EDGE will fall back to GPRS, according to network availability. Japan, on the other hand, uses their own types of (W)CDMA networks. "3G" falling back to EDGE or GPRS if the _phone_ doesn't support it is rather nonsensical notion. If a phone is a GSM phone, it will work in a GSM network. It will not work in a 3G network, so there's nothing to fall back _from_. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
