that would require a major hardware change, so its unlikely.

On 2-14-08, HTC started selling the HTC Touch Dual 850 in Australia. The big question is whether it has the same chips inside as the Touch Dual. There has been some talk that the regular Touch Dual has a chip that works on the 850 frequency, so I'd say there is a good chance the two devices are the same with differnt ROMs.

We really need someone to upload the ROM from a Touch Dual 850.

I believe that there were two differing Qualcomm 7200 chipsets produced:

One with support for 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (the US version, in which the 850 & 1900 MHz band is used for UMTS). And one which supports 900/1800/1900/2100 MHz (for Europe) In which the 2100 MHz band is used for HSDPA.

You could be right though, it may be that the only differences are in software.

The device can't support all five frequencies(at least it shouldn't be able to :) ), but it may be possible to pick and choose by flashing radio roms.

Only time will tell... :)

I have read the lg ks20 manuel ... if you need more frequency, you need hardware parts! on of this parts are a RF switcher. the radio read out the nv ram too.

I'd say that just about does it. I will be wanting an 850 model soon.

do you think the australia rom would fix it or the radio, i do know the australia rom is available for download but isn't the radio more important for this issue?
