Motorola V360, ? re tri bands

On the motorola.com website, it claims this cell phone triband is a 900/1800/1900.

However if you go to the T-Mobile website, it states there that the handset is 850/1800/1900.

My service uses 850/1800/1900....soo....can I use this phone? Or not? Can someone explain a bit more about these service 'bands', please? Specifically what would happen if I tried using 900/1800/1900 on my service provider?

Thanks!

Motorola V360 / V361 Specs & Features (Phone Scoop)

According to phonescoop.com, this phone comes in both a US and European version. The European coming with the 900 band instead of 850.

Either way, it will "work" on T-Mobile, but if it is the Euro version, you may encounter some roaming coverage problems, as it lacks the 850 band. T-Mo primarily runs on 1900, so hence the "work" claim above.

Any other info on the phone? Where did you get it? Do you have the manual, specs, etc?

Hi, thanks for your help!

I haven't yet purchased the phone I referenced above, but am seriously considering it. My family has (3) V220's (850/1800/1900 bands), 2 of which have cracked LCD's, one of those two is unable to make calls (can't see what you're dialing). I'm trying to find a replacement(s), but haven't been successful yet in doing so. I'm really bummed atm, both phones broke within 2 weeks of each other, and of course are not covered by warranty.
