Im not up on my phone terminology... what bands does this support? I see phones advertised as dual/tri/quad band, etc...?

Why is this front page? Big deal? I dont think it is personally... Open source phone WITH NOTHING FOR SPECS when comparing cost I WOULD JUST GET A PANDORA! 400MHz processor barley out does sony's OLD ASS PSP lol..This will be lucky to do anymore than J2me emulation ALREADY HAS for "real cell phones" that run java...win mobile ect...
