Ok my bad, on the frequency bands, posting that early in the am is not good idea, but ditto to bbphreak and disturkis.

Hey Buddy.. I'd have to disagree with what you said, cause i'm using a Rogers bold on an Indonesian carrier....
I think what disturkis4u said makes more sense, as long as the local provider supports the frequencies the device is configured to have, the 3G should work...
Here in Indonesia most of the BBs are overseas branded (CSL, AT&T, Rogers, T-Mobile, TIM, etc) as they are sold as BM units (black market, ie. not sold via providers).... so far most phones can use the 2G/3G networks in Indonesia...
A couple of my friends are getting the T-Mobile 9700 today... I will personally check whether the 3G will work on the Indonesian cell networks..
Right because its out of th country which is what we said you were talking bout getting edge with T-Mobile within the US.. and other american carriers. VZW handsets are supposed to work with the overseas gsm frequencies just not on the US ones like tmobile.

- 3G (HSDPA) compatible
- UMTS: 2100/1900/850/800 MHz (Bands 1,2,5/6), 2100/1700/900 MHz (Bands 1,4,8)
- GSM: 1900/1800/900/850 MHz
- Quad-band support: GSM 850; GSM
those are the speecs for the 9700 on wireless networks meaning it should work if the phone is unlocked anywhere with 3G or EDGE Coverage.
3G on the Bold all depends on coverage of 3G
1700 band is t-mobile and 1900 is AT&T so it has to work on 3G for both no doubt.
