HTC's fourth Android phone (the
Dream,
Magic, and
Hero all came before it, lest we forget) just got hooked up with some sweet RF emission approvals, meaning anyone carrying a
Tattoo this side of the pond is now welcome -- nay, encouraged -- to fire off a few shots of Bluetooth, WiFi, and a little EDGE here and there. The documentation indicates a model name of "CLIC100," verifying the commonly-held belief that the phone was known as the "Click" internally prior to its introduction (not to be confused with
CLIQ, of course), and the "100" code indicates that it's the first variant with quadband GSM / EDGE with HSDPA 900 / 2100. Whether there'll be another variant produced later with 850 / 1900 3G for North America remains to be seen -- but for now, at least you're welcome to plod along with 2.5G without fear of FCC reprisal.

Stop saying that 900/2100 is North American 3G! True North American 3G would be 900/1700/2100! We need more tri-band 3G so that you can take a phone from t-mobile and go to att and vice versa and still have 3G speeds
*900/2100 - *850/2100
*900/1700/2100 - *850/1700/2100
ok i realize my previous comment is wrong when it comes to the frequencies. the point is that north american 3G is not just AT&T and ROGERS. we have tmobile as well. so if you want to say that something has north american 3G, it must include 850/1700/1900/2100.
