You're right - I always forget about that particular issue because I use all sorts of European only phones and never have any trouble. But for someone that's living in a place with ONLY 850 band coverage, it's an important issue.

I've been curious about this issue myself - last week I submitted a question to HTC to get a direct answer on this issue from them. I'm hoping it will provide some insight - because I'm sure there's a reason for it and it's not just that HTC is ignorant about the desire that people have for a GSM phone that works everywhere.
