Re: 1800/1900 + 800 or 900?
First, I will say I use Tmobile which is 900/1800/1900 bands, and I like it very much. I did try ATTWS for 30 days, and then returned the phone because they were not any better. I also live in the NJ/NYC area.
Ok, I will tell you what the ATTWS representative told me. The 800/850 GSM band is only used here in the US and only by Cingular/ATT. Tmobile uses the 1900 band here in the US, as well at Cingular/ATT. The representative told me when I tried ATT out, that if I decided to stay with ATT, do not get rid of my Tmobile phone which has the 900 band, because it will work better abroad, since some foreign countries use the 900 band. Perhaps a quad band phone would be good for you? Such as the Treo 600 or Motorola V600.
