Hi,
On Friday OpenMoko freerunner went on sale, and by now the 900MHz band
version is sold out with only 850MHz version available.
Someone told me that Orange and Cellcom mainly use 900MHz band, with
few areas where Cellcom provides 850MHz coverage.
Thus, 850MHz version of OpenMoko turns to be mostly useless for
Israel, especially for Orange users (as I am).
Can someone confirm that please?
Sounds unlikely.
From memory, so please verify, but as far as I remember, the Neo is
tri-band, working with 900 and 1800MHz, with some models carrying the
1900MHz as a third band and others the 850MHz. Orange uses 900MHz and
Cellcom uses 1800MHz, so both models are totally usable throughout
Israel. The 850MHz and 1900MHz make a difference mostly inside the USA,
with the 1900MHz model being somewhat preferable if you want to use the
phone in Europe and the 850 model being preferable for the USA.
Either way, all models are 100% usable with all Israeli carriers.
