I understand that Cingular now has service areas in the 850 band.  Would my
tri-band phone (900/1800/1900) work in those areas?

If they also had the 1900 up and going there, but obviously the 900 wouldn't
fall back to 850.

No, of course not. 800 (850) is a completly different band than 900, 1800 and
1900.

Different numbers are even used to describe the fact.

No, of course it wouldn't.  Your triband is 900/1800/1900.  850 and
900 aren't the same thing nor are they even close to make it work.
