Wow, thanks for checking that out. I had no idea that was even possible. I'm in the US but I have a world version (900/1800/1900) for when I travel. Unfortunately, the network I'm on (T-mobile) doesn't use 850 anywhere in the US, so I can't contribute similar tests.
Oh wait, maybe I can. Does anyone know the command (dbus or AT) to scan for available networks and query which ones are on the 850MHz band? I won't be able to join, but I can at least let you all know if it works and maybe even what the signal strength is. --Ben On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 12:41 PM, Joerg Reisenweber<jo...@openmoko.org> wrote: > I just confirmed basic functionality of 850/1800/1900 devices (US Freerunner) > for 900MHz networks.
