said by Snickerdo:said by compuwizz:The rest of the world uses 2100 MHz and another frequency for uploads that I can't remember right now. Cingular uses 850 and 1900 MHz, and tmobile will use 2100 MHz and another frequency which makes it not compatible with other world HSDPA phones. This article explains it better.
How is this any different with GSM 850/1900 and GSM 900/1800? The USA and Canada both use 850/1900 and 1700/2100 for UMTS/HDPSA, and the rest of the world uses 900/1900/2100. If you care enough you'll buy a phone that will work no matter where you take it. You're trying to make an argument out of something that has always existed since the very beginning of digital phones in North America.
Well said.
