i was looking at the specs for this link. am i reading it right? is that frequencies for both at&t and tmo 3g service?

Frequency Bands GSM 1800
GSM 1900
GSM 850
GSM 900
WCDMA Band I (2100)
WCDMA Band II (1900)
WCDMA Band IV (1700/2100)
WCDMA Band V (850)
WCDMA Band VIII (900)
This from:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/N8/

so is that a yes? 1700/2100 is tmo and 850/1900 is at&t here in the us. phones dont normally have this config. i think this is probably the first i have ever seen with these kinda recievers

I think its been mentioned the next maemo device will also have all five 3G bands.

Correct you are, and it is an amazing feat from Nokia engineers.

Thsi si why i forgive Nokia for all the crap they put me through. They are the only ones really doing anything inventive feature wise as far as i am concerned in the cell phone arena. every onbe else is just making feature phones that are a knock off of one another or some remake of the IPhone. who else has a fm transmitter? who was one of the first with flash 9? who started putting in high end lenses adn 5 megapixel cameras in there phones? who has innovative designs like the la amour series? who made the n95 when the rest of the world was learning what a "app" was?Nokia every time! and through symbian free and low costs apps have been around for years. every one else is too busy trying to figure the best way to scheme money out of folks ig: we still dont have proper video calling support or mobile in the us.

now they have a phone doing the most commeon sense thing i can imagine! all 3g bands? unheard of. this will definitely stir things up and change the way we by cell phones and pick carriers. It will change it to the way it should be! GO NOKIA!!!!!

they are smart enough to realize tht its easier to make money when you arent trying to screw every one out of it all the time. INNOVATION and creative minds


ironically they have some creative ways to get money too, check there web site to see the sudo buy one get one free thing they have going on . still i rather that then the competitors


so in conclusion to my rant: I applaud Nokia and forgive the fact that i now more about there damn phones then the techs and customer service department they have working for them. i forgive the overall lack of quality customer support with high end luxuries like English speaking staff.
