It has 850 but will not use the US 3G networks (set for ASIA/EUROPE) unless you get a US version (not out yet). So it's quad without 3G (you do get EDGE though)

so its quadband gsm and dual band hsdpa for euro/asia?

I think it does GSM850 but not UMTS850. Is this correct? Now, my question, is UTMS only used for data and GSM is used for voice? My immediate answer to this would be no, UTMS (W-CDMA) is used for both.

Yarr.. is this a hardware thing or a software thing?

Software

I think Software - I saw a registry edit in the tweak thread. need to go find it again

850 adding 850 GSM is a software tweak, adding the UMTS bands for the US is not (it lacks the hardware)

I really dont think they would have released this without the hardware. My gut tells me the US 3G will see the light of day...

I've been praying daily for this since I got my TP on Tuesday... And I'm not a very religious person...
