maybe its because here in the chicago area we use cricket 1700mhz-AWS CDMA and the TP and BB are both 850/1900/2000mhz CDMA dual band phones, and the phone she had was tri-band 850/1900/2000mhz 1700/2100mhz AWS. this is the exact reason i went back to sprint because of that stupid new band and i wanted a smartphone.
