Crazy cell phone market in the US then huh !

Over in the UK its far simpler, and the customer appears to have more choice.

Most of the Motorola phones are Quad bands 850/900/1900/1800.

I don't understand why SE doesn't build quad band phones.

@etaab Yes indeed..... you folks have so much to choose from, so many options and models. And better yet... it's just simpler.

Maybe its because the 850 band is barely used by anyone.. ?

@etaab

All studies here have shown that it is the best signal, as it goes through walls, buildings, basements, ect. I have had issues in terms of signals with other providers. I must say, since having 850, I don't experience dropped calls nor speech break up. Honestly, it is almost perfect. I guess that's the trade off.

Here we go again. There are really only two real GSM bands. 900/1800. Those bands are available in multiple countries. While the 1900 band is predominantely us

@Residentevil

True....1900 is predominantly U.S. However, Cingular has gone the 850 route, limiting 1900 considerably.

The way the US does their phones is very different than the way any other country does. from the way they have the plans, and what you get, to the way the bands are.
with cingular using the 850 band, it actually seems alot better than anyone other provider around here using the 1900 band...
i know my post has no point, im just saying, i have noticed from past experiences, the US always does things different... and more complicated

the ROKR is the biggest turd of a phone that has come out of cingular. im surpised apple agreed to associate themselves with this phone.

1. widely panned by critics for its extremely slow interface
2. even moto fanboys criticise this phone for being slow and buggy.
3. this is a recycled 2year old phone (E398). even the E398 is way better.
4. crippled by a 100 song limitation. what good is having a 512mb tflash card?
5. many reported returns because of extreme lag when running itunes (on phone)
6. 512mb is the largest tflash card in production so far.

*buying this phone would be a HUGE mistake. people are better off buying an E398 and activating the 850mhz freq.

Actually it's very simple: years ago the US implemented available wireless technologies investing tens of millions of dollars thru the years on infrastructure.Most of the phones r still analogic (tdma for example) and still strugling for profit.Implementing gsm was costly,it is not widely implemented and still strugling to get thru as cdma conquered the US years ago.Don't know why they use 1900mhz and why they implemented the ankward 850 mhz. They r limiting their chances OR this is a shrewd business move-no1 makes 850 mhz phones except for Motorola and companies like Cingular,operators i mean. This message was posted from a WAP device
