> 4 band phones
Bookmark topic
I was chatting to a 'friend of a friend' in a bar the other day, who used to work for a uk phone company. He said that the bandwidth that some of the uk companies (inc. vodafone) use is going to be replaced soon, and their subscribers will need to move to a new bandwidth. He said that the only reason they havn't done this already was no-one has bought out the 4-band phone that you would need to use this bandwidth, and they didn't want to make all of their subscribers new phones obsolete until they'd sold them all.
Anyone else heard this? Is he just talking about 3G, or are they really going to make us all have to buy 4-band phones to be able to roam fully accross networks?

you just need a 3g phone that works on WCDA and you will have full roaming.

The 450 MHz band is now used experimentally in Romania to test CDMA in Europe. There is a new operator, Zapp Mobile (owned by Qualcomm) who is running the experimental CDMA network on 450 MHz. I've heard they reached to 153 kbps data capabilities. You can check this out yourselves at
www.zapp.ro (click on 'English'). You have to admit that HSCSD and GPRS are quite far from this value, aren't they?

450MHz will not be used for 3G/UMTS in Sweden since this frequency is reserved for the NMT mobile network... and NMT will not shut down before 2008...
