I've heard this basic answer from them in a couple of places.
The bottom line, though, is that they have taken a step backward. They should have chose, going forward, to support, at minimum, ALL 4 2G bands and then add 3G bands that were regionalized, expanding support for more bands as they could. Then, at the very least, the basic phone services would work world wide.
Even here in the U.S., geographically speaking, MOST of the country is not 3G, so limiting ANY 2G bands is a bad idea.
I, for one, was interested in the Diamond before I realized they were going this way with their new devices so now, I'm not so interested. Unfortunate, but I understand that they think they need to make compromises, even if, they are, in my opinion, the wrong ones.
