Community update: The 850 MHz issue

[Michael Shiloh]

That's a good point, Tupshin. You (and the community) can guide us as we 
try to figure out how to proceed.

How many of you must have 850 MHz support, and would be satisfied with 
an 850/1800/1900MHz variant, and how many of you  must have full quad-band?

Please put your answers on
