Please stab me with a fork

Cingular is on 800/850Mhz and 1900 while T-Mobile uses 1900 (in the US). So I would think that Cingular wouldn't pick up this phone but T-Mobile might.
THANK YOU, is there in circumstance that Cingular could pick this phone up?
If any US carrier gets this phone, it will be Cingular.

Not going to Cingular anytime soon, if at all. This is a 900MHz international Tri-band phone. Plus, the FCC still hasn't decided if the US will use the 2100MHz band for the US 3G networks.
This phone could easily be modified for US needs. Simply replace the radios for american compatibility. They currently do this for many gsm phones. They can do it with 3G a well.
I'm not saying the phone will be Cingular or not, but I'm sure it could be arranged if Cingular wanted it. We'll see.

Good to know!
1. I said that Moto would reshuffle the bands that are on this phone to offer it to Cingular, and most likely as another exclusive.
2. Cingular won't be deploying UMTS on the 2100mhz band even if the FCC allowed it...they don't have any licenses in that band. 😉
3G technologies are not being rolled out on any new bands...
Maybe 4G (which will most likely be 2.5ghz). 😉
I want nothing to do with companies who wait.
Cingular plans on rolling out with 3G soon, but they're 3G wont work on the 2100 MHZ band like it does overseas.
The chances of seeing this phone on T-Mo or Cingular, I'd say, are very slim.
