I just set my Access Point (Linksys WRT54GS) to channel 13 and my 770 (OS 2007HE), N800 (OS 2008) and N810 (OS 2008) all connected without any problems to channel 13.

I also tried setting the AP to channel 14 (not allowed in Europe but permitted in Japan) however my "European" 770/N800/N810 (all set to English UK for Language and Region) failed to find the access point during a scan.

So, all 770, N800 and N810 tablets are definately capable of scanning for and using at least channel 1-13 (possibly 1-14 too if suitably configured). Any WiFi channel limitation is a software configuration limit which varies from region to region according to the local regulations.
