I guess everything must be working just fine, otherwise you'd see somebody bitching about it :D

Well, those of us outside of the initially supported regions want to know if devices will work with our mobile providers as well :) Since device is out, shouldn't Jolla publish the full specs on the modem somewhere?

I agree... Would be nice to know if I'm getting an LTE device or 3G device :p

about bands
I read on IRC that 4G will come later as an upgrade (see that in the user guide only 3G is mentionned)
So maybe something is still unclear and they do not want to make any announcement yet?

Regarding 3G they could make a statement. But they basically mean that it works everywhere with 3G (but that is more my assumption).

As an upgrade to the hardware? How exactly do you see this happening? Or it's a software limitation which can be fixed with an OS update?

User guide does mention 4G in the very end.

Not via an other half :) but I understood they need to enable it via a OS update

Even if that were true, the 4G modem hardware only supports a certain number of frequencies, and that cannot be changed via software. So I'd really like to know what those frequencies are.

Regarding 3G, it's probably obvious that it's pentaband at this point, but I'd like to have some closure on this.

No, jPhone cannot be used, not even imported into US. You know why? I tell you why. The moment it hits the US soil, Jolla will be sued by Apple for patent infringement in speaker placement. So, that's all, folks.

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
UMTS: 900/2100 MHz

Now you can do your math about what will work in the US.
I don't find any info about LTE, though, and as I don't have an LTE contract, cannot test it either.

LTE isn't functional on Jolla device, so that shouldn't figure into your calculation.
