Is there such a phone that is capable of 850/900 and 1900 on GSM. This would
seem to be the phone that would provide you with the best possible coverage.
If it does exist its not so common.

The new Treo 600 covers all four GSM bands 850/900/1800/1900.Plus, you get a
great PDA also. Kinda pricey though.

Hi there,

Kevin from Handspring here. I wanted to provide a little more
information on the Treo 600.

Here's its specs:

Here are a couple reviews:

Walt Mossberg's review from the Wall St. Journal:

Cingular prices start at $499 w/ service activation, and best of all,
it's available now.

Good luck with your decision,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin.
I'd buy this device BUT it has a camera in it, more and more places do
not accept phones with cameras.
My work place bans them.

Any chance theres a similar device with quad bands coming out without
a camera?

Another candidate for a cell jammer.

I've been looking at the new Motorola V300, which is Quad Band GSM.
Available at T-Mobile, or on eBAY (unlocked).
