Re: n900 preorder
Erez, The version on the amazon website states GSM quadband 850/900/1800/1900, which mean it will work with Orange Will it work 100%, I cannot say as you can't be 100% until you try. 2009/10/11 Erez D erez0...@gmail.com: ok, lets say i have someone who is traveling abroad. will the us version of the n900 work with orange ? cellcom ? pelephone ?

Looking at Nokia's specs - http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/specifications/ * Quad-band GSM EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 * WCDMA 900/1700/2100 MHz It is not clear to me whether these co-exist in every device or it is either/or. I'd assume both EDGE and WCDMA - AFAIK it's normal in modern handsets. I suppose a 3G GSM sim from, say, Orange should work. EDGE should be backwards-compatible, in the sense that if there is no EDGE coverage it should still work with GPRS, etc. I have not tried, though - it is an assumption only. From the Amazon link you posted it seems that it is GSM indeed # This unlocked cell phone is compatible with GSM carriers like ATT and T-Mobile. Not all carrier features may be supported. It will not work with CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless, Alltel and Sprint. Can anyone explain authoritatively what unlocked means? Is it (as I suspect) just an assurance to the iPhone-crazy Americans that they don't have to pay ATT for 10 years or whatever? Or is it modified in some unspecified way? -- Oleg Goldshmidt | o...@goldshmidt.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

When sold second-hand, it usually means has been unlocked from the carrier to which it was locked when new. These being new, I expect it means the former, never locked to a carrier. --sambo ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
