According to phonearena.com...

this has UMTS 850. Can someone confirm?

If that is true, then it is compatible for on AT&T's 3G network.

I can only confirm that it is UMTS 😁
According to our site on T-mobile it has 850 but not UMTS. So no 3G on at&t which makes sense, why would T-mobile make a phone to work on a 3G which they don't use.
It does not have UMTS (WCDMA) 850.

Early prototype versions did, and an early draft of T-Mobile's spec sheet did say that, but the final version does not have it, and the final T-Mobile spec sheet shows that. I've confirmed this with both T-Mobile ...

Pricing????

Ok per TMONEWS.com the HSU fee should be 199.99 however I went online to place my pre-order and it's showing the base price of 449.99!!!!! Why the huge difference? Do I have to call customer service to place the pre-order so that I get the 199.99 base price?
Well you are only eligible for that price if you havent changed your phone in a really long time.If you have changed your phone recently then you can't get it at that price.If I were you I would cc service anyway.
Customers eligible for full discount on their upgrades will get this device for $249.99 and have a $50 mail in rebate. Only standard post pay customers are eligible to purchase this phone during the pre-sale period.
Ok so I called and basically because I did a HSU within the last 22months I'm not eligible for full discount (which they said would be 199.99) and customer service cannot place pre-orders either they said you have to do it online, oh well ☹️
Sounds like another overpriced dumb phone πŸ™‚ 😈 😁 🀣 😈

When will it be a smart phone?

The following is my opinion but feel free to add yours I donΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬β„’t mind 😁

Okay yeah I don't think I will ever understand how this phone, that changes very little every year, ever got so popular.

There are tons of good texting phones out there and they are usually cheaper. I mean what is so great about this phone the poor camera? Or the fact that it flips up? Or that you have to have the phone in two hands to use?
Seriously why is this phone listed as a Smartphone everywhere I look? Is there something about it that I just don't get? Is it because a few famous people use it on T-Mobile commercials? Or that you can get the D-Wade edition or the Slim Shady edition or whatever cool edition there is that makes the phone an extra 1...

Is the WCDMA 2100...?

Euro compatible? or is the AWS side of 2100?
Yes, the new Sidekick can roam on Euro 3G networks.

On Phone Scoop, "2100" always means the European 3G band (band I). We always refer to AWS (band IV) as just "1700", so as not to confuse it with anything European. πŸ™‚
