Howdy, I'm in Vancouver too, just tested my phone (motorola L2) against the 850/1900 network and it works (registers with fido) while 900/1800 doesn't. You can only select them in those pairs but I'm not sure how that will work on the neo. Can anyone clarify some more? Regards Dave On Mon,

I said this in the channel but you weren't there. We should be going forward with specs, not backward. By the time the next revisions come there'll be a whole new generation of hardware so the freerunner will then be lagging even more. Someone mentioned getting a faster cpu and my 2c are that I
