Someone in the howardforums claims that performance on tribands that
are 900/1800/1900 are somehow inferior in performance to dual band
similar models from Nokia e.g. 6230B works better with 1900 than does
model 6230. The only difference between the two is model with the B
uses GSM 850 and the non B model uses 900 instead. Personally I think
it's bunk and that performance shouldn't be any different with the
1900 band on either one. This guy claims that GSM 1900 is only an
afterthought and that Nokia didn't engineer any tribands to work as
well as single band 1900 or dual band 850/1900. I think it's bunk,
but he has made himself out to be an "expert" on what Nokia does.

He is an IDIOT! There's no way a phone works "better" than another
just because the other band it uses is 850 instead of 900. It simply
is not physically possible. They both use the SAME antenna, and they
both use a bandpass filter which "filters" out the 1900 frequency. The
only way that what he said can be true is if this filter is filtering a
different bandwidth, but there is no reason why Nokia would do such a
thing. And, if they both have the same bandwidth, there's NO way that
having 850 instead of 900 can affect its performance. Again, he's an
IDIOT who thinks he knows everything, but really, he's just a lonely
geek.

Are you in the right thread? What are you talking about? We all know
that asian countries use 900, and that US uses 850. That still doesn't
affect the performance of the 1900 bandwidth.
