Sanyo 8400.. analog or not?
Ok boys and girls,
Can the 8400 pick up analog signals or not? Everything I have says its Dual Mode/Dual Band. My friend that owns the phone claims it picks up a Analog signal in his school and that the phone displays the word "ANALOG ROAMING" on it.
I did some research and http://cellphones.about.com/od/sanyo/a/prsan_ .htm
says it does and http://www.abcnews.go.com/Technology/ZDM/stor y?id=2691130
says that "though as with all EV-DO phones, there's no analog band)".
I spoke to some other people that say that no EVDO phone can support analog.
WHICH ONE IS IT?!?!?! WHO IS RIGHT?!?!?

and they never will. It is an outgoing technology. Look at the map almost the whole country is covered with digital now anyway

Then why would his 8400 ever show Analog on it?
He also claims that his 9000 did the same thing. He said when he went camping he could only pick up Analog. 9k is evdo

or needs to buy some eyeglasses! Just so you can hear froma second source THERE ARE NO (NADA, ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH) EVDO PHONES THAT HAVE ANALOG!!! The phone is dual band, not tri-mode like you said yourself. You answered your own question. Now the 9000 looks like the 5600 which did have Analog but was not EVDO. If he said he had a 9000 with analog it was just a 5600.
