I recently tested the A630 and according to the manual, our own tech guys, and the moto representative, the A630 is a quad band gsm phone, not tri band.
Yeah, I know, that makes it all that more desireable!

Also, Brighthand lists the weight at 100g. I didn't read the Moto press release. I wonder which is accurate.
...
Trust me, it's tri-band. All of the official info from Motorola says this, and I have confirmed it.
Like most tri-band phones these days, the circuits support quad-band, but the antenna does not. So, again like most tri-band phones these days, it will ship in two versions - one with a 850/1800/1900 antenna, and one with 900/1800/1900.
...
Odd, I am not saying you are wrong Rich odd that they would give us a quad band model and then release a tri band model. 😳

I was told that both versions will be available. The quad band would probably be available with Cingular/ATTW and the triband with T-Mobile/SunCom. I have noticed that most of the high end GSM phones usually go to Cingular or ATTW and not T-Mobile. For example, if T-Mobile customers want the V400, V600, P900, K700, etc., they'd have to purchase an unlocked model.
...
Our V400 and V600 come unlocked.

Did you get it from Cingular or did you purchase it elsewhere unlocked? I purchased my V600 directly from ATTW and it's locked. I used to have T-Mobile nad when I insert my ATTW SIM into those phones, it works with no problem. I do know that there are some retailers that sale GSM phones unlocked directly from the factory.
...
Cingular's come unlocked, AT&T's don't. Cingular is trying to look at the big picture and open the door for international roaming and nationwide roaming, thus ours are unlocked! 😁

I take it you work for Cingular. Yes, that's a great feature.
...
Yep, I've worked for them for 2 yrs now. 😁
I am looking forward to all the new phones coming out and I hope Cingular with go with winners.
The Moto WiFi one has my attention but I can just imagine the cost....hmmm rent or phone...tough choices! 😉

I have my eye on the Moto Wifi, as well. I'll be glad when the merger is complete. I look forward to some of the things Cingular has to offer. I need to stay out the store. I've bought too many phones this year (great news for the sales reps 😁 ) and I have my eye on some that I'm waiting to be released. 🙂
