I doubt that Cingular will do away with the 1900mhz....then they'll loose all roaming partners.

I was on website a few days ago that showed where all the 850 and 1900 coverage was, on a Cingular map of the U.S. , Canada, P.R. , virgin Islands.
I'll see if I can find it again. Most coverage is 1900, although the midwest has 850 in certain locations.
If you have a 850/1800/1900 phone, no problems with signal regardless of where you are.
900/1800/1900 phones, will fail in a 850 location. It all depends wether you have no need to be in any of the 850 locations.

I don't think the 1900 sites are gonna go anywhere, there are far too many of them. If anything Cingular might stop putting up 1900 sites, but I doubt they would start removing them. Don't get too worried.

In regards to the westcoast (where Cingular invested about 1 Billion in improving the 1900 network a few years back), the 1900 band has been purchased by T-mobile and it's in a 4 year rental agreement by Cingular (while they improve the 850 band that AT&T started there). This means that no matter where in the states that you're at, if you have a nationwide plan, you will not see a decrease in 1900 mhz coverage. |

Apparently it seems they are leaning towards the 850 due to the signal strenght. Below is a cut and paste directly from their website.
Expanding Network Reach and Quality
During the last 12 months, we have added or improved 15,000 cell sites, including those added through roaming agreements in major cities with Cingular Wireless and other GSM carriers. We have more than doubled our national GSM/GPRS coverage area so that it is now includes approximately 1.2 million square miles in the United States.* In addition to expanding our network reach, we continue to aggressively improve the quality of our GSM network. In many major markets, we have installed hardware and software to improve our customers' wireless usage experiences. The new hardware and software allow callers with compatible GSM/GPRS devices to use the 850-megahertz band of the radio spectrum, which generates a stronger signal than the 1900-megahertz band, travels over larger areas and penetrates walls better. Overall, these network enhancements will improve call quality across the nation. As a result of this upgrade, signal strength has improved, even in buildings. Secure wireless access†
Cingular employs sophisticated authentication and data encryption features to enhance:
Protection of User Identities
Protection of IP Addresses
Protection of data transmitted
Device Options
One of the advantages of using the global GSM standard is that Cingular offers more flexible device options including:
BlackBerry® Handhelds
PocketPC
Smartphones
palmOne™
PC Card Modems
Specialized devices
*Our network includes areas we own and operate and areas owned and/or operated by other carriers. Coverage is double the national GSM/GPRS coverage area that was available last year. Compatible device with 850 MHz required to take full advantage of improvements.
† Secure wireless access refers to the authentication and encryption features available on the Cingular network, including Network Access Authentication, GPRS Ciphering, and GPRS Encryption Algorithm.

Is there anyone on this thread using a K750 on Cingular service?
Or a 1900 Mhz phone on Cingular? ( U.S. )

I think ResidentEvil uses a P900, but I don't know if he is on Cingular or T-Mobile.
I remember reading about several people using K700s in the US, but I don't think many of them are regulars in this thread.
