What makes you think Cingular is getting this phone?

GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 is what Europe uses.

UMTS in the US can't be on 2100 unles the goverment works to get that frequnecy free.

And it also won't be hard to make a small change to adjust it for US frequency use.

I was planning on just using my stock capacitors and particle emitters to modulate 2100 down to 450hz and run that on my nokia 0101

But until that happens we won't speculate.

Cingular will not and cannot use this phone! This phone is an international Tri-band phone, without the Cingular needed 850MHz band. So, therefore it will not be coming to Cingular. T-Mobile on the other hand could get this phone. But, the only issue is the 2100MHz UMTS overseas freq, which is not yet available to use in the US.

It's not hard to reband the phone...it's done all the time for the US.

We will see. This will become another Moto V635 debate about will it be coming to Cingular.

Killer intelligent comment, MAN.

You know as well as I do that they make the tri-band's operating in europe, and then they make the same phone with US capability. Every phone that has tri-band capability has the ability to have the 4th band to be enabled, whether it be 850 MHz for the US, or 900 for Europe.

YOU LOSE

Ok, so I have read this whole series of posts. Are you kidding me???? THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION APPROVED THIS PHONE!!!! That means it IS coming to the US. It just needs to be rebanded for use on the US networks. 🙄

So the FCC has approved this phone but first it needs to be changed for us in the US. Anf you think the FCC won't need to re-approved.

Makes lots of sense to me, NOT!

The phone, as is, can work for T-Mobile. Just needs rebanded for Cingular.

And don't you think the FCC would need to retest/reapprove after the rebanding?

Not nearly as extensively. Could be done in a matter of a week or two.

Just because a phone gets the FCC approval doesn't mean that it is coming out for a carrier in the US. The FCC approves devices so they are able to be used in the US, by the people who want them. If you haven't noticed alot of phones that the FCC approves never make it to a US carrier. The FCC just gives approval so that they have the phones radiation, battery power, and phone usuage info on file, since alot of people buy unlocked and unbranded phones to use here in the US.
