First, thanks to Michael for giving the update. It is never good to have to be the bearer of bad news.
However, this is huge! My probability of purchasing just dropped from 95% to about ~5%. I'm getting ready to move and not knowing what my coverage will be like in those areas is definitely a deal killer. I occasionally do some international travel and also spend time in more "rural" areas so quad-band coverage is an absolute must have (not just something I want for the warm fuzzies). I'm not going to be overly critical, but how does this just slip through the cracks? Although somewhat marginal, quad-band chipsets do cost more than tri-band. It just seems really really weird that ensure you have all of the functionality working would be an absolute no brainer. When putting all of the components together for a *PHONE* you would think that you would test, re-test, check, double-check and then triple check the actual *PHONE* components. My mind is pretty much blown over this one... -Jonathon -----Original Message----- From: Jae Stutzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: List for OpenMoko community discussion <[email protected]> To: List for OpenMoko community discussion <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Community update: The 850 MHz issue Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:37:15 -0600 Man this royally sucks for me. We only get 100% coverage because of the 850 band where I live. 1900 is being added slowly, but not anywhere close to full coverage. Anybody want a neo? I sure wish this information would have been provided _before_ the purchase.
