<br><br>I know there have been alot of people complaining that they
only have 850 in their respective area, and a phone without 850
coverage is of no use to them. I don't want to be a nay-sayer, but it
makes me worry. I don't know what band coverage I have. Personally I
have an AT&T RAZR, which the option to select the network between
"Automatic", "850/1900" and "900/1800". Just now I set it to 900/1800
to test, and I no longer have service. Obviously, I don't want to
spent several hundred dollars on a phone that doesn't work where I
live, or _might_ work on the other band in the area. Additionally, how
does this bode for traveling? If 850mhz is widely used for AT&T -
then I would be in trouble.
<br><br>Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of the OpenMoko and really
really really want to get one of the GTA02's (I'm sure many others will
agree). But I'm worried, and I'm sure I'm not alone.<br><br>-Jon<font color="#888888">.<br><br><br></font>
