Mathew Davis: > Who uses the 900 band does anyone know? Nobody in North America uses 900 or 1800.
Originally all GSM phones were 900Mhz. The GSM specs were created in Europe. Due to congestion on the 900Mhz band most providers added support for 1800Mhz. North America was late in the GSM game due to old networks and therefore much prior investment. However, it is basically unheard of now to buy a GSM phone in North America that does not support 850/1900, the two North American bands. These two are must have for North American customers in general. Quad band should be the goal.
