The US uses mostly CDMA/EV-DO 850 & 1900MHz, with UMTS 850 widespread from Cingular. Cingular are apparently going to roll out UMTS 1900 in 2007, and have just released a device doing every possible GSM & UMTS band on the planet - the 8525 (aka the HTC Hermes 160). There is also the 'AWS' spectrum around 2100. I'm uncertain if it could support UMTS2100 as well to support legacy non-US devices.<BR/><BR/>Low-end so-called 'Pentaband' phones will start to come onto the market later this year, allowing trans-Atlantic 3G services where roaming agreements for 3G with US UMTS operators have been struck....although whether 'roam like home' agreements will be in place to allow continued flat-rate data access is quite another thing ;-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
