    That's just plain silly -- it's no big deal to get a SIM with the proper
    band.

    In Taiwan, when you buy a prepaid SIM card, you can buy one from an 1800
    MHz or 900 MHz carrier. It's a real PITA to have to worry about this,
    especially when you're at 7-11 dealing with a communications barrier as
    well. I expect that it's a similar issue in other countries. It's better
    to have an unlocked phone that works on both 900 and 1800 MHz.

    It's different if you're roaming with your Cingular SIM, since Cingular
    will have agreements with multiple carriers in each country, including
    both 900 and 1800 MHz carriers.
