Which bands does the N900 listen to for 3G? There used to be a chart somewhere.

If they are performing 3G upgrades they would upgrade the network which *all* of their products use and not something which probably only their rival operator has.

1. N900 does not officiallly support the frequency bands used by ATT for 3G.
2. ATT would not (i think) upgrade their network to include a rivals frequency band which is not used on *any* of their own products/phones.
which would point to the conclusion that, even though the town in Nevada is seeing an upgrade in network (congrats to ATT for that) it should/would not reflect on a N900.

And "again", even excluding the 900, its very possible that a local market could see higher rates where others would not. AT&T upgrading "Nevada", and not upgrading say, "Orlando" (i.e. "higher speeds in one area, not in another), has got nothing to do with "including a rivals frequency". Try not to merge the (2) different topics.

Fair enough...like I said, it looks like people are getting higher speeds, on AT&T "and" T-Mobile, in certain areas. Either way, I'm not getting higher speeds with either network, nor with either phone(Motorola Q)...and that's all that matters!
Actually its all moot, since there is no Sling nor HAVA support for the 900 yet.

If you don't know how to check your N900's uptime, you probably shouldn't own it.
