I saw that, but it's strange that they'd make it w/ a capable quad-band radio and -still- declare it's only designed for Europe. I'm not a cellular expert -- are there other considerations outside the frequencies that it supports ? If not, it seems like a good global phone, no ?
- mschuster91 11y agoI can imagine concerns with stuff like allowed WiFi bands...
- digi_owl 11y agoGSM quad band, UMTS and LTE seem Europe only. So getting anything more than EDGE in USA seem out of the question. In this day and age i suspect finding GSM radios that are not quad band are rare to say the least. Never mind that this phone is unlikely to ever be sold with a carrier subsidy, as it will be damn hard to lock in something that can have its SoC assembly replaced by removing a few screws (and ship with the required screwdriver).
