Anyone else can detect 3G in North America?

[TheNextBestThing]

When being in Dual Mode with automatic network selection, im always on GSM, however, I forced my phone to do a network search by selecting "manual" in Operator Selection.

When the search finished, it came up with this



This is in Canada where the 3G network is only being tested and not open for public, so no matter what 3G band my phone is on, I wouldn't be able to connect to it.

I wonder if those of you in the USA come up with such search result in your 3G area with Cingular.

Im highly curious of this finding.

you will have to ask the OP...cuz the e61 only detects 2100 3G networks afaik...

I cannot speak to how an E61 would show 1900mhz 3g, but here in Dubai I watched a US dualband phone (850/1900mhz) register on a 900mhz network. The registration would only happen every blue moon, but it did happen. Our guess was that there was a minor amount of channel overlaps between the two frequencies.

According to what I've read, the node to phone aspect of UMTS matches between EU spec and the North American spec. The difference is on the phone to node part.

EU

1910-1970 (phone to node)
2110-2170 (node to phone)

NA UMTS:

1710-1755 (phone to node)
2110-2155 (node to phone)

Given this, it seems that it might be possible for some partial detection to take place. It also seems to raise the requestion of whether E61's 3g can some how me modded to work properly in North America.
