Hello, I do have almost the same question...
I live in US, but I m european, and goes back there very often, plan on comming back to europe in less than a year I am with T-mobile, and from what I heard/read, T-mobile in US is mainly 1900 Mhz. So, I i have a 1900/900 phone in US, will I really suffer from not having the 850 Mhz ? Does T-mobile US really uses the 850 Mhz Openmoko really need to be a Quad-band phone.... Is there any plans for it ?
