Shaggylive,

You are correct, the CDMA network uses 850/1900, Telus and Bell Canada are building a HSPA network that will also use 850/1900 bands UMTS, 3G+.

According to Telus Data Support, the National network is built, they are testing and tweaking right now for launch.

The rumors seem to say a soft launch in the fall, the Official Telus word is Jan/10.

If the Telus re in the other post is correct, if its Customer care, I doubt they know, if its data support person that I spoke to last week , I would say the customer care has no idea. That was mid last week and phone was not announced, maybe they could not advise.

The phone spec shows GSM bands 850/1900, only 2100 for UMTS, Telus and bell are not launching GSM network, just HSPA.

If anyone has any concrete info, like have been able to unlock device as well as 850/1900 UMTS bands, that would be helpful
