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

Hi Michael: As I mentioned in a previous email to you, I'm in a 850Mhz _only_ area - so I can test the handset for you - though I am in Canada. Provider is Rogers and the area is Ottawa. Also, would there be any possibility of releasing the changes made to the GTA01 to make it 850Mhz

Depending on the level of complexity, this could be *great* news for me. I don't travel internationally that often (currently, but the frequency could always up in the future) so having quad-band is borderline nice and necessity. But if I could make changes (before/after trips) to switch the

As has been discussed earlier, this is not a change you can make yourself. Conceivably, you could change the components yourself, if you had the right equipment, but there are also changes to the firmware that you can not make yourself. There is no possibility of adding a switch, as a number

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]
