That issues actually confuses the hell out of me. :)<br>
<br>
Per the wiki "Will a modification to my Neo 1973 (GTA01bv4) be<br>
possible? As of Feb 08, it has been confirmed by OpenMoko that this is<br>
not possible" (<a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/US_850_band_users_wanting_to_sell_Neo" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/US_850_band_users_wanting_to_sell_Neo</a>)<br>
<br>
This implies that a GTA01bv4 can NOT use 850 mhz. But my Neo1973 works<br>
PERFECTLY in the USA, which means either it DOES support 850mhz OR<br>
that the LACK of 850mhz is irrelevant.</blockquote></div><br><br>As I understand it, 850 will matter or not depending on where you live and what provider you use. So you might be in an area or with a provider that uses 1900 a large majority of the time. Those selling GTA01 units probably live in an area that requires 850 for decent coverage. <br>
