Which also includes the vast majority of the US. And even their "blanketed" areas have lots of holes.

Since as already pointed out the AT&T 3G 850 band isn't supported, this still leaves Tmobile as the primary US carrier choice to use with this.
So - then 2 problems remain -
1) how to use a Tmobile 3g data and voice plan without a contract, as in just get a prepaid sim; I know they have prepaid plans, but they seem to be hidden from view for the most part on their site, + they seem to be on a separate (as in none) roaming agreement, and definitely no international roaming
2) how to transfer an existing number on another carrier to a tmobile prepaid sim (and also how to potentially get it back x number of months from now when AT&T rolls out 2100Mhz 3G)]]>Dec 18th 2008 9:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/05/sim-hardware-unlocked-android-dev-phone-1-surfaces-for-399/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/05/sim-hardware-unlocked-android-dev-phone-1-surfaces-for-399/]]>Feb 18th 2009 11:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/05/sim-hardware-unlocked-android-dev-phone-1-surfaces-for-399/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/05/sim-hardware-unlocked-android-dev-phone-1-surfaces-for-399/Feb 24th 2009 5:45PM
