I just purchased an unlocked Motorola Timeport P7389 to use later this month in England with a Virgin sim card. According to the Motorola instruction manual, when I get to the UK I should change bands by scrolling through the menu to an item called "Network Selection/Change Band."

Trying out the phone here in the United States (it is roaming on a Voicestream band), I cannot get the "change band" option to appear. Under "Network Selection," there are options for "Available Networks," "Network Search," "Preferred Networks," and "Find New Network," but nothing that says "Change Band."

Does anyone know if this would be a network-related feature that will show up when I am in the UK? Or is the phone likely to be defective? I haven't been able to get Motorola or the seller of the phone to understand what I am asking.

Thanks very much.
