I was hoping that the K750 would be available to the U.S. with an 850 band. Instead a Motorola with a VGA cam and 100 song capacity, is being pushed by Cingular.
Grrrrrr......

The problem is with the 850 band. I will lose signal in most places, as my provider is predominantly using a 850 band.

So i take it the W800i does not support the 850 band in the US ?
Ive just looked on the SE USA website, and it said the W800i supports the same bands as normal. Strange they didnt include the 850.
You could always try a different operator that supports other bands..

Certain providers here, such as T-Mobile support 1900 only.
Cingular has it, however it is set up in a way where it is first filtered through the 850 band rendering a 1900 only, useless in most areas.

So, why would SE with their cell phone wizardry release a phone only capable of using limited bands..

I just got a great deal a few months ago. The catch was signing into a 2 year contract. I have 5 phones on this contract. It would cost $200.00 in penalties, for each phone dropped from the plan.
I'm stuck............

Crazy cell phone market in the US then huh ! 
Over in the UK its far simpler, and the customer appears to have more choice.

Most of the Motorola phones are Quad bands 850/900/1900/1800.
I don't understand why SE doesn't build quad band phones.
@etaab Yes indeed..... you folks have so much to choose from, so many options and models. And better yet... it's just simpler.

Maybe its because the 850 band is barely used by anyone.. ?

All studies here have shown that it is the best signal, as it goes through walls, buildings, basements, ect. I have had issues in terms of signals with other providers. I must say, since having 850, I don't experience dropped calls nor speech break up. Honestly, it is almost perfect. I guess that's the trade off.

Here we go again. There are really only two real GSM bands. 900/1800. Those bands are available in multiple countries. While the 1900 band is predominantely us
