Tri-band = 3 bands. They usually show up as:
GSM900 (rest of the world)
GSM1800 (again, rest of the world)
GSM1900 (Generally North America)
or
GSM850 (Generally North America)
GSM1800 (rest of the world)
GSM1900 (again, Generally North America)
Since Cingular operates on GSM850/1900, the tri-band phones that are
offered through them tend to be the latter.
However, if you purchase a tri-band phone overseas (HK, Singapore, etc),
it's usually going to be the former since 900/1800 is used pretty much
everywhere else in the GSM world except for North America (and
Thailand??).
There are some phones (like recent Moto offerings and my O2 XDA2) that
are quad-band. Makes sense. Wonder why SE dun do that instead of having
two lines of phones. If they off quadband instead of tri-band, they can
standardise their world phone lineup.
Hope this dissertation is helpful...
