Community update: The 850 MHz issue

[digger vermont]

That's to bad.  Like many people I've been looking forward to getting a
Neo and using OM. Now I'm not sure if I will.  I do a fair amount of
camping and canoeing, at times in rural areas.  I wonder how often the
lack of the 850 band would cause problems?  I looked around some and
couldn't find any good info on where 850 is used.

Seems like this could affect a lot of people's decision to get the
GTA02.
