Nexus 5 was announced today in the US and was wondering if it would be compatible with the new Telecom 4G network.

I tried to do my own research but all the different LTE bands and frequencies are confusing me. I was wanting to get a better confirmation before buying the Nexus 5 and finding out it doesn't support telecom 4G.

So here are the LTE bands supported by the Nexus 5:

 

     

  • North America:
  • GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
  • CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
  • WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
  • LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
  •  
  • Rest of World:
  • GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
  • WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
  • LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

I understand telecom 4g will be 1800mhz when released, then 700mhz later once the analog tv spectrum is shutdown. 

So I went to wiki to check bands and frequencies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands#Frequency_bands_and_channel_bandwidths

but this just confused me since a frequency could have more then one band.

Anyone think they can help me with this?
