My sister purchased this phone a month or two back, and mentioned to me today it was on sale for $100 (Telecom, NL...). Great value at that price, and it appears to be a superior phone in some ways to its replacement (better main camera; a front camera included...).

Anyway, I raised this matter (850 versus 900 for 3G) with her when she was looking at purchasing it, as she's with 2 Degrees. She contacted a number of retailers that all swore to her that it supported both - after I questioned her on this reply she went back and asked again to be sure. This was in DSE and somewhere else (NL I think).

Do we have access to any definitive proof either way? (I doubt my sister has tried 3G in a non-main urban area.)

There's also the Huawei Y320 which is on sale for $130 at NL - IIRC this is the replacement model, but has 900/2100 (ie, for Vodafone/2 Degrees); note earlier comment re some poorer specs.
