Michael, I'm in an 850/1900 area as well. I live in eastern Pennsylvania (Lehigh Valley) and often drive to/from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I sometimes drive to the suburban Philadelphia area as well. My mobile provider is ATT and my current phone's SIM chip is listed as working with

In regards to the 850MHz Issue: It seems that very little effort was required to switch a phone board to 850 for testing. So my question is what exactly is involved. Was it simply switching which pin is attached to the antenna? If it is a relatively simple circuit change and involving only a

I would also be very interested in re-work instructions for modifying a GTA01 to support 850MHz as many of us are capable doing circuit modifications. Thanks, Cliff On Dec 10, 2007 9:32 AM, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In regards to the 850MHz Issue: It seems that very little effort was

As mentioned earlier, this requires replacing a number of components, firmware changes, and recalibration. Michael Mark wrote: In regards to the 850MHz Issue: It seems that very little effort was required to switch a phone board to 850 for testing. So my question is what exactly is involved.

Yes, but not the recalibration or the firmware changes. One step at a time - let's see if these units work, and if so, we'll look into if there is any way to tackle the other issues. Michael Cliff Brake wrote: I would also be very interested in re-work instructions for modifying a GTA01 to

I'm curious, since these 850 variants are most likely going to be an option, when can we expect them? Are they going to be available at the same time as the public offering of the GTA02, or are they going to be available way after that? On Dec 9, 2007 6:01 PM, Michael Shiloh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
