    If I bought a Sony W800i off the internet would it work with Cingular? It is a GSM phone so I am guessing it will.

    Also after I purchased it what would i have to do to get a plan through cingular?

    Problem with the w800 is that is doesn't have the 850 Mhz band which means you will run into some signal problems whenever you reach an area that's only transmits on that band....

    Yeah i just noticed that. I am going to wait and see if the w850 will have the 850mhz band. Do you know if it will have that band?

    not this model....get a quadband phone just to be covered everywhere you go where there's coverage.

    So the w850 will not work with 850mhz networks?

    I thought it was going to replace the s710a?
