isnt it more of a question of which band your network supoprts? most 'i'-indexed phones support bands 900, 1800 and 1900 if i'm not mistaken. i believe your phone can only work on one of those at a time; say you are in a 3g-covered area, and your phone supports umts 2100, it uses that, them flips over to 1900 (non-3g) if youre not covered, if the network supports it *im not 100% sure on this as im not a telecom professional*

In Service Menu you can see what bands your phone support, then you have to see what band your operator uses
Xperia Arc LT15a ->> Sandisk 32Gb MicroSD Class 4, Sennheiser CX400-II & MW600
C905 ->> Modded R1FA035 Firmware, 8GB M2, HPM-70 & MPS-75

@axilom: exactly, that's the way I should've asked in the first place.

@BobaFett: yes, that's my service provider. so my phone is only working on 1800/1900. it makes no difference if I buy a phone with bands 850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900.

thanks guys...
