I am dreaming of getting the one which supports UMTS 850/1900/2100 bands.
Any news?

There is no such thing as a tri-band UMTS Diamond, all are just dual band. 850/1900 for the US Version, 850/2100 for the Australia version, and 900/2100 for the European version.

I thought I read somewhere that there is an Australian version of the Touch Diamond 120 (100 for Europe/Asia, 110 for NAM) that supports dual-band UMTS 850/2100, which should let 3G work on any continent. If someone actually has this model or can confirm, that would be great.

EDIT: Whoops, guess the guy above me posted a little faster ;) Anyone know if an online retailer has the AUS model on sale?

Well it wouldn't work in any place that requires 900, it also wouldn't work on AT&T in certain 1900-only 3G zones. I don't know what market uses what frequency for AT&T, so I really couldn't tell you if your area will work with the 850/2100 Diamond or not.

Go to ebay.com.au and search... 650 AUD = 544 USD, for perspective

I'm assuming that's the Australian version... But PM every seller before buying to confirm :P

Yessuh, all Diamonds have it, but it doesn't work. It doesn't reflect the hardware in the device at all, standard to all devices.
