U.S. Version vs. International Version What's the difference? If it is quad band, it should work anywhere in the world. Anyone have any information on this?

I use to have a Nokia E72 unlocked US version, I was traveling last year to China, and the phone works there, but now is time for me to get a new phone, because I lost it, and also my mom need a phone as well since her one just crash, and she's Chinese, and so she also want a phone that support Chinese language in the OS(input, menu, apps) , so my question here is that between quad band or international version phone that we order here, which one does have Chinese language setting

Hi Alana, I live in Perth and own both the Australian version and the US version. They have different frequencies in line with Australian regulations for the aussie unit. I also find that the Australian unit has much better sound quality and volume for some reason. Regards, Mike

How about TRD Trading? Do they send the correct i9020a version for AT&T; US bands?This posting from Amazon is so broke it's not funny. Its a lottery of what version you get despite the listing showing i9020a...

You have to check the band used in jamaica and see if it is compatible with the triband capabilities of this device. Tentatively I would say that it ought to based on a quick google search of what bands are used. On the other hand, you could be cautious and obtain a quad band device that will likely work everywhere. I'd go with yes it works, but research first to be sure.

There are a few variants of this phone so check the model closely. That said, mine came fully unlocked and quad band. It was used in the UK and Brussels without issue and on several carriers through the Caribbean.

No, it can't be used in the UK. It only has the 850/1900 bands as you point out, so it works in the USA and most of Latin America.

This isn't an easy answer. Different carriers require different bands across the world. Purchasing the "Global"is the safest option. This guarantees your phone will work with every carrier overseas. However, the service may not be as good or even be only 2G (edge) speed. If you buy the AT&T; version, there is no guarantee of it working outside of the United States. Even if it does,AT&T; has optimized it for their network and may not work as well abroad.

I guess you would have to verify what frequesncy is available. This is Quadband and quite useful in most countries.

Hi Blackspade.The only thing that I know is: RM820 is the North American variant. Has pentaband UMTS (850/900/1700/1900/2100) and North American LTE bands. RM821 is rest-of-world (except China). Has quadband UMTS (850/900/1900/2100) and European LTE bands. China, with no 100% sure, is RM822 and specific to this country.I hope I have helped you.

Hi Frank,this is unlocked GSM phone which should work pretty much anywhere - i used in Costa Rica, my friends used similar model in Germany and Italy.I am planning on taking it to England and France this summer. Since it is quad-band - it should support pretty much any GSM network in the world.I found it to be very convenient. Hope this helps.

Wifi is not region dependant. There shouldn't be any issues. This product is also the international version which means its unlocked and work with most sim cards from around the world. Given, the operating band is the same as what the tab supports.

I have used this phone with a UK sim in the UK, Denmark (and US!) without any problem. Just removed my usual sim and inserted the UK one when required. Some initial set up will be required if using for the first time. It is a quad band phone and covers the usual GSM frequencies in almost all, if not all countries
