At this point it is pretty much proven that the phone does not support at&t 3G bands (nor the European 3G bands) making the phone useless outside of AWS areas (i.e. T-Mobile USA and some small networks in Canada).
As everyone knows at&t is looking to merge with t-mobile. Not only will at&t shut down t-mobile's AWS 3G in order to deploy their 4G LTE, but as part of the merger t-mobile customers get free roaming on at&t's network RIGHT NOW. This will also continue even if the merger does NOT happen.
As such this would have been one of the best phones in the world, if it had actually had quad band 3G, since you would have had access to two networks in the US and you would have had a much more future proof device - can you say great coverage.
And yet, t-mobile continues to advertise the phone as a quad band device and their responses, if you ask them about it, are flat out lies.
I urge you to:
1. get on twitter and dump on @tmobile for false advertising and misleading customers.
2. email and "tip" blogs and newspapers about this story and get them to write a negative/scathing review of the phone and tmobile's tactics.
3. email t-mobile's executive customer care at ExecutiveResponse@T-Mobile.com
4. go out and buy the phone at full retail and return it (opened) because of false advertising
