1700 and 2100?
Being that TMobile bought spectrum in both the 1700MHz and 2100MHz blocks, are both available in Vegas (and all other already\soon to be launched markets)? The article only lists 1700MHz as being live but I have a Nokia N70 that supports 2100MHz and live in Denver (yet to be laucnhed) but was hoping that it would work.
Looking at the current lineup of 3G phones TMobile carries, Nokia 6263(Dual-band WCDMA 1700, 2100), Nokia 3555(Dual-band WCDMA 1700, 2100), Samsung T639(WCDMA) - the Nokia's support 2100 so you could specualte that a 2100MHz only phone would work. Anyone in Vegas or NY have a 2100MHz phone that is working?

3g is dual band, it uses one frequency for uplink and another for downlink. The N70 will not work because only one of it's frequencies is available on the phone, not both.

That would seem to make sense. What through me for a loop was that both of the Samsungs
t819 - https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p =1393
t639 - https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p =1240
only show 1700 according to the specs here on Phone Scoop. I am sure that t only 1 freq is listed as the other is assumed since 1 is upload and 1 is download.
...
Really? Wow, too bad for all those Europeans, then, who only have 2100 MHz 3G phones.
So can they only make calls or only receive calls?
🙄
T-Mobile uses 1700 for 3G. AT&T uses 850 and 1900. Europe uses 2100.
