I've been successfully avoiding owning a cell phone for many years
but I can't avoid it any longer. I plan to buy the GTA02a5 version of
the Neo1973 as soon as it comes out. For the moment I thought I would
go ahead and get a plan and whatever freebie phone comes with it.
Anyone know of decent carriers what will work with the Neo1973, I
guess GSM, in north central Oklahoma in the U.S., particularly at
longitude W97.1, latitude N36.1? I've been Googling and reading on
the different network types to figure out what GSM is and what the
alternatives are and if the Neo will use anything else but I'm mainly
more confused than when I started. I am aware of the 850 MHz issue in
North America so I hope that's not a show stopper for me.

=================================
If north central Oklahoma is as rural as it sounds, unfortunately your
chances of being able to use the neo are pretty slim. A very high
percentage of rural America uses the 850 band, whether it's tmobile or
at&t/cingular. If the area is more city like, then you might be able to
get away with using tmobile, as they predominantly use the 1900 band. I
know there was a map posted a while back of what parts of the country
use the 850 and what uses the 1900. See if you can find that.
Good luck,
Richard
