Paul, << When did Verizon pick up 1900 MHz coverage? Must be some area of the US and that explains why they require tri-mode for nationwide service. >> Primarily with the rolling in of GTE Wireless and some swaps or acquisition (eg Alltel in PA and elsewhere). - Eric -

pheilman, Take my answer to your tri-mode question with a grain a salt. Just ran across Nokia's definition of tri-mode: A TriMode phone operates on two frequency bands, such as 800MHz and 1900MHz, as well as operating in both digital and analog networks So a GSM 800 MHz/GSM 1800 MHz/GSM 1900 MHz phone would be a tri-mode according to the definition I gave you. But according to Nokia's? .... I don't know. The marketing guys would probably just avoid the issue and call it a tri-band GSM phone. Ron p.s. Sorry for the use of GSM in my example, but it was the only legitimate single technology, tri-band combination I could come up with.
