Most of them will be phones that Rogers carries as they have a pretty large scale deployment of LTE in the 2600mhz band. Bell might start carrying more devices with that band if they start rolling out more 2600mhz sites.
A few Latin American carriers also use 2600mhz as well, but I'm not sure if it's the exact same flavour that Rogers and Bell are using. |

Most LTE flagship phone and high midrange from this year support LTE 2600MHz, it's used by some Asian carriers as well.
I know the Sony Xperia Z/ZL/Z1 all have it on their LTE modems. |

I believe the new iPhones 5C and 5S also have 2100 and 2600 support now. |

Most should but sometimes they are firmware restricted. I know with the Xperia Z, you had to flash the ZL firmware on to it to get 2600Mhz LTE access. Hmm Guspaz seems to be right, for w/e reason, the NA iPhone 5S (A1533) doesn't support LTE Band 7 (2600) but does support Band 3 (1700). The Asia iPhone 5S will though, at least where networks use WCDMA instead of GSM for voice service. Source: » anandtech.com/show/7335/ ··· eview/12 |

JF said it had something to do with AT&T/Verizon influence. |
