Joshua,

My experience with the 900 Mhz phones is that they work most of the
places that people go.

The 850s seemed to be in places where you wanted large physical coverage
or in hard environments.  850s seemed to be used by companies at the
seashore, in mountains, etc.

900 phones worked fine for me.  Remember you also have the 1900
frequency which handled most of the work.

Wow. Is that it for GSM-850 FreeRunners, then?
I wonder... what kind of coverage could one expect, in the US,
using one of the GSM-900 ones? I've looked at the maps, of course,
but somehow I have trouble believing that they're showing me
`the truth, the whole truth, and only the truth'
