I found lower specification on huawei's official website:
UMTS 900/2100MHz; HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps; GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800 MHz
but xda's db shows u8800 is a quad band phone?
which one is right?

GSM Arena says quad band GSM as well:

Maybe someone with an operator on 1900Mhz can confirm that... Huawei are full of **** in terms of specifications (like the FM Radio, which on their specification is available, but in reality is gone...)
Thanks a lot for your information.
wait someone use this on a 1900Mhz operator to support this
anyone use this phone in United Stated or Canada? I heard that US and Canada use 850/1900Mhz band?
I wrote a letter to huawei and engineer there told me:

My provider (Telstra AU) uses UMTS 850 Mhz for their NextG network.
I've always wondered why my coverage was garbage.
Now I realise that my Atom Life has no access to the 850mhz band - only 1900 and 2100.
Is this a hardware level restriction, or are there updated ROMs etc that will allow me to use the 850mhz network?
Anyone has the answer to that?
I too like to know if there is a way to enable the 850 band for either 3G or GSM.
I have an old duel band phone that i was able to turn in to a quad ban with just a new flash, so that makes me wonder if it is possible with this phone as well.

Would be nice because with 850/1900 umts you would also be able to use it with AT&T and Rogers in NA.
My HD2 is compatible with the Network Bands:
HSPA/WCDMA/UMTS: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
My Mobile Operator works only on:HSPA/WCDMA/UMTS: 850/2100 MHz with no GSM bands. The HSPA/WCDMA/UMTS 850 MHz has a better cover and is missing in my HD2. So I'm left only with the weak HSPA/WCDMA/UMTS 2100 MHz, wich sometimes is not enough.
There is any way to add the possibility to work also on the HSPA/WCDMA/UMTS 850 MHz?
I heard than there is a version of the HD2 in Telstra company in Australia which includes the HSPA/WCDMA/UMTS 850 and 2100.
No, you must buy the Telstra version if you want 850. Sorry for the bad news.
Yes, the only way to add a band is to buy a new phone, at least in this case.
Is it a Hardware matter?
Yes.

Hi .. I was searching the forum because I want to purchase an HTC HD2 T9193 which, I know, has the 850 - 2100 Mhz band. But I found on the net a vendor who offers the HTC HD2 850 - 1900 Mhz band, is this right ?
On the other hand, if there is not such HD2 with 850 - 1900 Mhz band, the one with the 850 - 2100 band will pick up 3G in Canada ?
That model (850 / 1900) was supposed to come out (for AT&T most probably), but it has since been cancelled.
I'd be careful if I were you. You can find more info about it here
The Telstra model (T9193) supports 850 / 2100 MHz like you said. You'll need to check with your service provider if they support 850.

Yes. You'll need to check if ATT supports the 850mhz band IN YOUR AREA.
I'm in a North Shore Suburb of Chicago area and have excellent reception with my T9193 in the area. There are 3 dead zones I've found so far that repeatedly drops calls using the HD2's 850mhz band exclusively. Other unlocked phones I've previously owned that used the 1900mhz band exclusively did NOT drop calls in these areas however. Other than that, reception has been great. It's been reported that ATT is "supposedly" moving their entire network to the 850mhz band exclusively by end of 2010. I'm doubtful they are on target for this date given the number of cities still without any 850mhz support.
T9193
Hi guys ...thanks for your responses. Well, I know that the most important service providers in Canada (Rogers, Telus, Fido) transmit 3G in the 850 - 1900 mhz band. I suppose I will not have problems whether I use the T9193
Official specs say it only has dual band UMTS850 / UMTS1900.
Is this true, has anyone tried using it in europe's 2100 band for 3g ?
Traveling back to Turkey the end of December, guess I'll find out .
Thanks MotoBravo, keep us posted.
No WCDMA 2100
The answer to my own question is NO, there is no WCDMA 2100 (UMTS Band I) support in Bravo.
I spent some time today checking out the FCC documents on the device, 2100 is not specified.
First I though it might be that FCC does not list non US bands, but cross checking motorola defy docs, It clearly states support for WCDMA 850/1700/2100 bands.
So bye bye to bravo from me.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Hi guys! Thought I would put this here since I saw from the past few weeks about some people having signal issues with the HTC One.
Unfortunately HTC updated their HTC One page with the new frequency bands list.

To the australian people who preordered their phones from EU. It is indeed official now that 850mhz is not supported.
*Australian on the 850MHz carrier here*
On one hand, I'm glad HTC acknowledged this and I've have been put out of my misery. On the other, I want to do a facepalm at HTC.
I understand how 850MHz testing of the European model could have been deprioritised. And I still believe HTC should be supported for coming out with a great phone at a time of trouble (possibly as many articles on their profit report as phone reviews!), but boy are they making it hard for themselves. They are not a new company. What's different about this phone vs the other internationally available in different variants phones they've released?
I have a quiet chuckle every so often about the saga of getting this phone. Excitement, delay, delay, worry about 850MHz support, dispatch!, oh what it won't work?!?, return, wait for local launch, to be continued...
You wouldn't happen to know what type of NFC it has?
Looked at GSM arena, no where does it go in to any depth on the NFC...
Cheers,

I'm in the same position here, buggered cos i was so excited. Plus only being able to realise this in the last day or so, now i'm probably now at the end of a very long wait list on the Harvey Norman preorders.
The HTC Unlocked from the US site has the following information:
This HTC One® unlocked version comes with: 32GB of onboard memory and is SIM unlocked.
- HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

From my understanding this works in Europe too, except for the LTE?
Frequencies:
900 / 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS, EDGE
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
900 / 1800 MHz LTE
As I pretty don't much care about 4G/LTE the US unlocked will work otherwise without any problems, right?
Yes you are correct!
Other thank the UK variant not having 850mhz HSDPA frequency all bands from 2g to HSPA should be compatible worldwide.

It has the NXP PN544 chip with its usual level of support it seems. Unlike the S4, it should therefore support Mifare tags without issues.
