I am trying to get this crystal clear before I get peppered with questions (from friends & family) over the weekend. We know that you need a 3G 850Mhz phone to work on XT (list of worldwide available handsets previously posted here). However the only *VF* range handsets I can find that are switchable look like:
- iPhone
- Blackberry Bold
- A couple of nokia’s.
My two questions:
Am I missing something? Or are these really the only VF mobiles that can come across? If so, its seems to be a tiny number of users who can move without buying another phone. Its like a technology lock-in all over again. (Argh)
Are 850Mhz capable handsets becoming the norm? I.e. will we see most mobiles that come out from now on being compatible with 850 as well as the other bands (that VF and maybe 2d will use)?
