| Maybe I'll just break down and get a Razr or Slvr and a Bluetooth dongle for picture transfer instead of a memory card. |

So again, can someone reiterate why the 850MHz network here is so utterly important? |

BTW, I wouldn't just get a phone with 850 Mhz, I'd get a "Quad-Band World Phone" with 850/900/1800/1900 MHz capabilities. I'd also get a phone with EDGE capabilities, not just standard GPRS. |

quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz)
Not only is it good to go in North America, but also the rest of the world. |

There is no need to spend extra money to ensure quad band unless you are going to be spending -significant- time outside of North America.
850 is important because that is the frequency which North American GSM providers use (along with 1900). If you do not buy a phone that supports 850 - you are cutting your signal options in half, increasing your chance of poor signal quality (and poor data rx/tx).
Plus frequency is inversely proportional to penetration depth - so 850 will work better inside buildings. |
