HTC Magic stops by FCC for a quick 'hello,' no AWS in sight

After Google had accidentally dropped the T-Bomb during its offline Gmail demo, we'd half expected (okay, hoped) that the version of the Sapphire passing through the FCC would rock T-Mobile's 1700MHz AWS goodies for US 3G. Alas, it doesn't -- implying that there'll be at least two versions of the phone launched around the world, which really doesn't come as a surprise considering the G1 takes the same route. We figure this particular variant probably does 2100MHz HSDPA in addition to the usual array of GSM / EDGE bands, so rest easy, Vodafone customers, you'll have a perfectly legal handset should you decide to cross the pond.

Does anyone know whether this model supports 3G bands compatible with AT&T? I've been holding out for an Android phone that will work on AT&T's high speed network.

so why did it not pass, the frequency for something is to high? anyone know why this would matter. and if bringing the phone in from UK would be problematic?
