I'm looking at the Ericsson T610, T616, and T637 and I've been told the
former can do the 850 and the later the 900. What countries would that
effect, I wanna see if I'd ever go there Also, what
providers/regions/countries use the 1800 and 1900? Anybody know?

850/1900 - USA & Canada
900/1800 - Just about the rest of the world.

For best US coverage, you need 850 in addtion to 1900MHz.

For world coverage, you need 900MHz as many countries still don't have 1800.
900 coverage is most extensive.

Ah, ok. So for a "world phone" you'd want a triband with 900/1800/1900?
Or do they make 850/900/1900? Seems like that would be the best possible
coverage, unless they make a quadband with 850/900/1800/1900.
Best compromise for mostly US use would be 850/1800/1900 I guess.

That does clear things up. Thanks

For a so-called world phone, you want a quad-band phone,
800/900/1800/1900, e.g., Motorola RAZR V3, several BlackBerry models,
palmOne.

The PalmOne Treo 650 for Cingular is listed as "GSM/GPRS model:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz world phone"
