Sounds like a T-Mobile Phone to me?

The 900/1800 phone sounds more like an european phone to me. I think
t-Mobile uses that for there "Home" network here, check some of there phone
specs online. I do not know if it is in the usa at 900/1800. I think they
somehow share 1900 with cingular and the 900 gives you the ability to go
overseas and also use the phone with tmo over there....I may be wrong.....

Joseph already stole some of my thunder, but here is a little more
information. 900/1900 is for Europe and Asia and 850/1900 is for the
United States. 850 is a rather new band for GSM. Many GSM cell phone
manufactures are scrambling to include 850. Currently Cingular is the
only provider with GSM service on 850. At&t, T-mobile and others are all
on 1900. Cingular is on 1900 in some places were they first implemented
GSM. A deal in is the works for T-mobile to buy Cingular's 1900 network
in CA and it wouldn't surprise me to see this in other areas to. I think
Cingular is trying to move exclusively to 850. I hope this helps.

Not so. cingular *and* AT&T Wireless are or have deployed GSM "850."
AT&T is not a "cellular" carrier in all markets so they do not have
access to "850" where they do not hold a cellular license. Where they
do hold cellular licenses they are deploying GSM 850 though they first
deployed GSM 1900 as they had GSM 1900 "PCS" in all markets that they
served. On the other hand cingular did not have much PCS "1900"
coverage so when they deployed GSM they pretty much mostly deployed
GSM in the "cellular" spectrum aka "850." It was much more important
for cingular to turn up GSM 850 than it was for AT&T as they already
had 1900 in most all their markets and at the outset there were no GSM
850 CPI so AT&T came out with GSM prior to cingular though they both
decided on the GSM upgrade path around the same time. cingular
already had GSM in the Pac Bell property that they assumed when they
became cingular and likewise already had a GSM property in the
Carolinas where they were Bell South DCS before becoming cingular.
