Why 1800 Mhz and not 900?
I've been with TMobile for several years and I always thought its compatibility with worldwide GSM networks was a major advantage. In fact, I thought it was OK that TMobile only used 1900 here, so all standard tri-band phones (900/1800/1900) were good both in the US and everywhere else. This compatibility, as well as a close relation with the global TMobile system, has been a selling point for TMobile to people who travel, something that VZW or even Cingular could never match. Have you noticed how many celebrities use TMobile? Because they travel a lot! Seems like a good idea for a niche market. BTW, TMobile seemed to recognize that overseas 900 is the primary band since they offered dual-band 900/1900 phones (Samsungs, I think).
