That info is not the info you want to use. As has been said before, AWS band will be common in the Americas within the next few years. Here is the 3rd hit on a Google search for "AWS Americas"

the RX-51 is with AWS only, and only in the US, from the looks of it. You'll have to order from NokiaUSA.com and have shipped to you. Is that what you've tried?

wait, if i I live in a country listed in the previous link with a carrier that'ss 2100mhz compatible (ie: singapore), doesn't that mean that N900 will work fine here?

It should, at least for voice and probably for data too. T-mobile USA phones with the 1700/2100 band have been able to leverage the 2100 band for calls in places like Japan, that use the 2100 band.

I assume that it means that it will work where 2100 is used for 3G, but I don't know for sure.

It says the 3G data uses wcmda, and there are 3 bands listed\used: 900/1700/2100.

So I assume from the previous list of worldwide UMTS frequency deployment, if your carrier uses any one of the 3 supported wcdma frequencies, you'll get 3G data?

What frequency does 2.5G use? Doesn't that make use of the EGSM frequencies than the wcdma ones?

Depends. For T-mobile in the US, you need both the 1700 & the 2100 bands, since one is used for uploads and the other is used for downloads. I think that just having the 2100 band may be sufficient in other countries that use the 2100 band--NOKIA has released n-series smartphones with just the 2100 3g band, in the past, so I'm guessing that is all that is necessary in some countries.

UMTS (faster than edge but slower than HSDPA) uses the same bands as HSDPA.

EDGE & GPRS use the standard GSM cellular bands (850, 900, 1800, or 1900--depending on your network and country)

The Nokia N900 is being released in various areas of the world ("in selected markets" ) with one model only (as apples to the GSM radio frequencies.) Those frequencies are stated in the specs, and are also stated in this and several other threads here at talk.maemo.
.
I'm curious. Do you ever read any of the replies here? It strikes me that for a tech journalist / blogger, there often seems to be a high level of incorrect information in your posts.
